the best part of that article:

Paul Adams, defense correspondent for the BBC, is accusing his own colleagues of distorting the truth, and claims the BBC exaggerated the severity of casualties suffered by British forces.

In a memo written this week from U.S. Central Command in Qatar and originally leaked to the Sun newspaper in Britain, Adams told his network supervisors:

"I was gobsmacked to hear, in a set of headlines today, that the coalition was suffering 'significant casualties.' This is simply not true.

"Nor is it true to say – as the same info stated – that coalition forces are fighting 'guerrillas.' It may be guerrilla warfare but they are not guerrillas.

"Who dreamed up the line that the coalition are achieving 'small victories at a very high price'?. The truth is exactly the opposite. The gains are huge and costs still low. This is real warfare, however one-sided, and losses are to be expected."
