Britain's Secret War?

Just noticed the Mirror's headline "Britain's Secret War" and was intrigued. I should not make a habit of soiling my fingers with any red top, but sometimes morbid curiosity gets the better of me. They somehow managed to break the incredible story that private military contractors are training the Libyan rebels. INCREDIBLE! Is anyone naive enough to be shocked? Sending a few special operators now obviates sending battalions of conventional troops later. Soon, the Mirror will be giving us the big expose' that war is bad and bullets kill.
