Details of the contact - which suggest that an al-Qa'eda cell may be active in London - were not reported to the anti-terrorist branch, which is hunting bin Laden associates in Britain. BBC insiders said that they feared the number of the anonymous caller, who reporters tried without success to ring back, had been lost.

This criminally irresponsible lack of notification demonstrates the BBC's obvious bias towards protecting Bin Laden and the al-Qa'eda Group--ostensibly to keep open a news source.

Should a terrorist action now be perpetrated by a London terrorist cell, the British Broadcasting Company will have to bear some of the responsibilty in the deaths and injuries that may occur.

This was conscious, pre-meditated neglect on the part of the British media administrators.

The BBC has placed itself beneath contempt.

Whats worse, is that it is all profit motivated, at least it is with CNN. Without an OJ trial or Desert Storm or OBL, nobody watches the darn station. It really has nothing to do with keeping neutrality. It has everything to do with prolonging the coverage (ergo the revenue), IMHO....

Take yourself back 60 years, to November, 1941. Britain was at war then with an horrific foe (just like today). The BBC was proud to serve as the propaganda arm of the British government, and rightly so. It's broadcasts to occupied Europe gave hope to millions of conquered people.

Today, the BBC serves as a propaganda arm of the enemy. It's broadcasts offer hope to the horrific foe and serve to frighten the home population. We (the west) have some housecleaning to do.
