Don't Call Saddam Dictator

Instead, BBC higher ups are directing reporters to call Saddam a "deposed former President". Are they afraid of hurting his feelings?

Labour MP Kevan Jones, of the Commons Defence Select Committee, said: "This shows the crass naivety of the BBC. Such political correctness will be deeply hurtful to many of our servicemen serving in Iraq. It amply demonstrates elements of the BBC have got a clearly anti-war and anti-Government agenda."

...a BBC insider said: "This is our daftest order ever."
