'Senseless tragedy' | |
The Daily Telegraph leads with the "scathing attack" on America's post-war administration of Iraq made in General Sir Mike Jackson's autobiography. | |
Sir Mike, who led the British army during the invasion, describes the approach as "intellectually bankrupt". | |
Meanwhile, film director Brian de Palma who directed Casualties of War about Vietnam, talks to the Times about Iraq. | |
He told the paper: "Once again a senseless war has produced a senseless tragedy." | |
'Clunking fist' | 'Clunking fist' |
The Guardian leads with an examination of an NHS survey of more than 8,000 secondary school pupils. | |
The paper claims in the past five years almost a tenth of 11 to 13 year olds have doubled their alcohol consumption. | |
The Times reports that David Cameron has authorised a new poster campaign to counter concerns Gordon Brown will announce an election this autumn. | |
Over an image of Brown raising his fist, the paper states: "Cameron tries right hook against the clunking fist." | |
Human-animal hybrids | |
Instead of Diana, the Independent mourns Britain's endangered species, which it says were dealt "devastating blows" by the summer's incessant rain. | |
The paper suggests that among the casualties were water voles - which drowned in their burrows. | |
Staying with the animal theme, the Daily Telegraph predicts scientists will be allowed to create human-animal hybrids, for use in disease research. | |
The paper predicts that, due to strong lobbying, the research will go ahead. |
