The Price of Doing Your Duty

Nothing but greed and a mindless cult of celebrity justifies Faye Turney and friends hawking their stories to the highest bidder. Every one of them knew the risks they were paid to take when they chose to sign up; the only exceptional circumstances surrounding their capture is that they eventually got off so lightly. On the day their ordeal ended, physically unharmed and wearing new clothes for their final TV appearance, four soldiers were blown up in Basra. There are some thing that money can't replace. For everything else there's Rupert Murdoch.
