A lead story in BBC News trumpets "UK 'rejects' lone action against Iraq":

• A closer reading of the story reveals that one particular minister, the "International Development Secretary" is opposed to unilateral action, but that other ministers didn't comment.
• The photo at the top of the story shows a nude protest by California activists quite a while ago, unrelated to the story, but apparently not to the intent of its author.
• At another point, a two surveys reveal "deep unease" regarding war among "labor activists".

Later, Ms Short agreed that the UK would not join the US if the US acted alone. Uh, wouldn't that be true by definition?

Undoubtely it is reasonable to report dissent with the UK government. But to construe one minister's opinion (one not related to warfare, at that) and surveys among labor party "activists" as the position of the "UK" is journalistically irresponsible. Including photos from an unrelated American antiwar protest further reveals the author's bias.
