Browne under fire in sailors row

Faye Turney has reportedly struck a six-figure deal


Turney on Tonight
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.

The government did a U-turn late on Monday, reversing an earlier decision to allow service personnel to sell their stories.


[I doubt the government consulted the military before they did this. I have little sympathy for these sailors after sounding like those saying how horribly they have suffered in uniform and how one cried like a baby.
You're in the military, for the Pete's sake! Egads! ]
