The Empire Strikes Back

"Defence Secretary Des Browne has been accused by opposition MPs of acting too late after the MoD imposed a ban on personnel selling their stories.

Two of the Royal Navy crew members held in Iran have sold stories to the press, but further media deals have been stopped pending a government review.

Shadow defence secretary Liam Fox said the crew had been "put up for auction" by the events following their return.

The Lib Dems said events had been "mishandled" and the ban came too late..."

Figures that the Brits would put up a better fight over some fat girl getting tons of cash from the media than against the ones who unlawfully kidnapped her to begin with.
