    Thanks Mary, and I'll probably have some more very soon!
    Was "Official Secrets" not up for the award?

    Three days ago SBS VICEland screened "Bringing down Baghdadi" for reasons one can only speculate about
    https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/1644083779954/Bringing-Down-Baghdadi

    You can't watch it there probably.
    but features prop artistes like Lina Khatib and Martin Indyk, with some guy walking around the heaps of rubble dumped on Halabi's house after the US bombing talking about where the bodies were etc.. as well as a WH session at the end, and most importantly this from Lina Khatib - that the killing of Baghdadi in Idlib - not his territory - now worried the peaceloving residents of Idlib that they would be thought to be harbouring terrorists and would be attacked. This clearance would make Idlib into an open space that IS could move into!!
    That's Chatham House vision/plan, now that the WH is having a hard time in Syria.
