Was tonight's Panorama irresponsible?

[CountessDracula]

Don't know if anyone saw it but if Bin Laden set his video for tonight's Panorama he will now know that London is incapable of dealing with more than 2 major incidents at one time, London Underground employees have had no training to deal with large scale incidents and if you blow up a tanker of Chlorine in the City you can kill 2100 people in one fell swoop.

Am I the only person who feels that this sort of info should be kept under wraps? Is it not just planting ideas into the already twisted minds of terrorists?

i never saw it but after reading it i was amazed that they would have been alowed to air it seeing as were on the hit list next to america and we have seen the damages they have done there

I think they already know that. I think the terrorists probably get things before the newspapers do. They have more ways than one of getting this info. For example, they can make their own analysis. I don't think terrorists are stupid (or they're just as clever as investigative journalists, I guess .. I think they're not learning anything new).

I think programs like that highlight the need to be vigilant.

Of course, don't go overboard. Relative risk.....

Also, I think our intelligence agencies have a good idea how much terrorist groups already know, IYSWIM.
