  1. Why do we send news reporters so close to a war zone? I think most of us can imagine what bombs and gunfire sound like, and from what we actually see, it doesn’t paint any clearer of a picture that is worth putting more lives at risk. There have been a lot of reporters killed in recent years, leaving families without loved ones.

  2. Why do I always get the impression that the Beeb war reporters are looking for an award ? Usually the shooting starts and Bowen and the others shows up two days later in the nearest capital city miles from the gunfire wearing a tee shirt and a flack jacket as though they've just parachuted in despite being put up in the best hotels and having plenty of time to pack properly. Small wonder most brits can't stand the BBC anymore.

  3. Why is the BBC in Lebanon? you obviously loathe us or you'd call your dogs off. I remember hearing the gunfire in Anjar from over the anti-Lebanon range in Syria. It sounded there for years.

  4. Anna's a brilliant journalist but it says a lot when the IDF took Lucy Williamson and her cameraman into Lebanon with them to film. Unlike many of her peers, Ms Williamson always comes across as a soulless journalist who is devoid of any emotion.
