This isn't surprising, but it is still nonetheless disgusting.  Allah says it looks like they were monitoring things on the Beeb site to clear sensitive info and didn't seem to be all that bothered by it.  I disagree with his somewhat ho-hum demeanor, though it seems he's backed away a bit from that (though I think you can still see the *Yawn* he put on the initial headline in the URL). 

This is dangerous behaviour (see, I did a British spelling for a British story).  Terrorists and insurgents undoubtedly monitor the media, and while it is unlikely to give them any immediate tactical edge, it may give them general information like regular routes or certain activities to watch for, which could help them down the road.  Perhaps a sensitive bit of info did pass through their filters, terrorists are dumb, but I imagine they know how to screencap. 

Then there is the leftist BBC itself.  How can we trust this media outlet itself?  We can't be sure that there are no terrorist sympathetics or leftists who wouldn't mind nudging the Iraq War closer to its end. 

I think the US and Coalition forces need to at least temporarily toss out any BBC affiliated reporters, both as punishment and as a security precaution.  The BBC has proven itself either untrustworthy or too incompetent to be alongside the Armed Forces, and should be thrown out for the sake and safety of those on the field.
