I was (perhaps not so obviously) referring to the BBC World Service.  It has also come to light the Palestine hotel in Baghdad was
not hit by an American tank.  It seems that tank rounds do not go around corners.  I am sure there will be more information to
follow.

Funny, my wife watched it live on BBC 1 TV from 15:30 BST yesterday.
It took about an hour, apparently, as first ropes, and later steel
hawsers, were tried, and as flags were swapped about, before it was
finally toppled.

It seems that we do still have at least some reporters who have been
able to successfully avoid 'friendly fire', and report the events as
they happen.
