As part of President Bush's 'war on terror', the invasion was the most controversial British foreign policy decision since Suez, and its ramifications and aftermath have rarely been far from the news.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the many political and public debates regarding this conflict, arguments over the role of media have been omnipresent.
