The Sun has the best headline on the Harry not going to Iraq story: For you Harry, the war is over. The Mail goes for the Target Harry angle, with General Sir Richard Dannatt saying that he has learnt of threats beyond those that have been made publicly. It's always useful to say you know something we don't, so that anyone criticising you doesn't have the full facts.
Quite ironic of course to use intelligence as an excuse not to send a soldier to Iraq. Could catch on.
