I'm not generally very sympathetic to calls of Beadwindow, and to an over-eagerness to censor, but was this really a sensible story to highlight?

Doesn't it provide useful detail about possible RoE, and helpful hints to the enemy as to how they might protect themselves from attack?

And while the story shows that the Allies take extraordinary care to avoid killing innocent civilians, didn't we know that already?

Was there any useful point in telling the story, in other words?
