Senator Norris mentioned the catastrophe of war. As he told me he had to leave the House as soon as he had spoken on the Order of Business because he had to attend a committee meeting, I understand the reason I am looking at an empty chair. He is right that the war is a catastrophe. The names of places such as Umm-Qasr and Basra now slip off our tongues. When I spoke last week, I agreed with Senator Ryan about the level and content of the reporting on television and radio. We could hear more about it over the weekend. Regardless of one's views, there is no doubt that RTE has adopted an even-handed approach to its coverage of the war. Its reporters are doing an excellent job and I hope they come home safely. Senator Ryan and I were castigatory, not of any one station but of the content and tenor of the debate on television. Others have their own views but I believe RTE is doing a good job.
