"Surprise" visit to Iraq
Tony Blair has just made a "surprise" visit to Iraq. I imagine that procedures are already in place to allow such a visit to take place with the minimum of formalities.
However, several TV and radio journalists seem to have accompanied him. Obviously, for security reasons, the prime minister's visit is kept secret until the last minute, but how do those reporters get their visas and security clearance etc processed at such short notice?
How are the reporters selected? Surely they are not just told, "Pack a bag, you're off to Baghdad tomorrow"?
How secret is a "surprise" visit?
