Whatever mistakes have been made, our thoughts should be with all families who have loved ones serving in theatre at this time. It's sickening watching the press, particularly the BBC News 24/Sky News types battling to release speculation as "breaking news", perhaps we should all consider complaining about their unjustified haste, without formal confirmation. To me its sickening that the media in General would rather push out speculation and be wrong, than wait for the facts, and then report that correctly. It's especially egregious when done by the BBC. Of course none of this will console the next of kin when the official announcement is made, I for one offer my sincere condolences.
