there is nothing wrong with a BBC reporter embedded with the Taliban that can not be solved by his death.

A sniper will get five notches on his rifle for this guy.

While I share your sentiments, a better method would be to simply hold a news conference after the next nest of Tallibunnies gets wiped out and have the spokesperson be a wounded Captain level officer who thanks the BBC for their wonderful tip.

A Colonel level officer would then have to march in and take him off the set explaining to the news people assembled that the last comment was unauthorized and should be stricken from the record. We cannot comment officially as to where the tip was obtained. He will then plead with the assembled media not to print or rebroadcast the unauthorized comment.

The Captain level officer who "leaked" the tip would then be publicly rebuked and get a dishonorable discharge. But privately, he or she would get a well-earned rotation home, promotion and administrative repeal of the DD.
