I believe that the British embassy in Iraq forgot to run this one past the Pentagon spin team who tells everyone that the situation is improving.
The embassy says a bomb was discovered on a flight inside Iraq on 22 November. It shows that insurgents have been able to penetrate the stringent security at Baghdad airport.
The warning is in sharp contrast to more optimistic statements from US military commanders after the capture of Fallujah in which they have spoken of "breaking the back of the insurgency".
The embassy says that the road between Baghdad and the international airport, perhaps the most important highway in the country, is now too dangerous to use.
The airport road is littered with evidence of previous attacks: the twisted cars used by suicide bombers and craters from roadside bombs.
