Did you realise the BBC are now helping insurgents in northern Iraq with their intel??

Tab down to the bottom of the article above...

Are you in Iraq? Have you seen any troop movements? If you have any information you would like to share with the BBC you can do so using the form below:

I have replied saying my license fee should not be used to aid insurgents.

Please feel free to tell the BBC what they can do with their crumby reporting on the cheap, get their reporters into their body armour and armoured vehicles and get out and find out for themselves.

Seems to me they are reporting what the septics want them to report.

Left a comment, won't hold my breath waiting for it to be posted.

Litotes,
thought you were clued up on map reading - you turn right to go to Iraq ( unless you live opposite)

I have just posted the following:

Would the BBC care to explain why they feel it is appropriate to jeopardise military operations by asking for information regarding troop movements in Iraq? It should be obvious to anyone that open-source reporting of troop movements is grossly irresponsible and tantamount to aiding the insurgents' cause. This request and any others should be removed from your website.

I don't expect a reply either.

I posted the following but do not expect it to be published they have 0 comments so far I wonder why!

As an Army wife I am shocked and dismayed that a large corporation such as the BBC is asking people to report our troop movements on an open forum which could be read by insurgent forces and/or their allies! Surely if you want reporting done you have staff who are able to do that for you otherwise why do we pay over £100 in license fee's?
This is a complete breach of both operational and personel security for every single member of our armed forces serving in Iraq and I would hope that you would have enough sense to remove this entire topic along with any similar ones from the website.

As an immediate action, why not just bombard it with made-up details of troop movements. Confuse the f*ck out anyone who tries to use it for Int.

Posted;

How the bloody hell can you justify asking for troop movements? This is an incredible outrage against operational security, endagering the lives of countless members of Armed Forces on deployment.
The BBC should be ashamed of itself, and i would like to see something better done with my license fee than effectivley funding terrorists, thank you very much.

Just posted a note to the same effect as the above. I did think about sending them a 'genuine' one, calling myself O B Laden or similar 'the infidels are 20km north of Samawa heading due east'..... But then again maybe SO19 would be waiting for me when I get home...
