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?
I don't often agree with people who cry 'beadwindow' etc as often they've got their head up their arse, but in this case, I must agree with Jackonicko's comment.

It's difficult enough to zero in on these guys in the first place, but to give them a mechanism to 'keep themselves safe' borders on lunacy.

Wasn't it the BBC who told the Argentinians about Sir Galahad and the fusing of the bombs and . . . .

I know, the public has a right to know - sometimes I think a dictatorship has quite a few plus points, sadly out-trumped by the minus ones.
