Anton, I respect what you are trying to say. However I think you'll find that most of us do not post anything here that is not already available from other public means, for obvious reasons, as per your last sentence.
When you say;
"I must say though, I was amazed at how quickly the news - and several important pieces of information - got out so soon."
You'll actually be stunned how quickly the news is found out in the first place!
Lets not forget the Sky/BBC/Reuters/Indy etc. reporters that are in theatre, sending this stuff back home.
Regards,
SS
