Re: [privacy] CCTV 'Mission Creep' again.

[Kevin McAleavey <kevinmca () nsclean com>]

NOW we've got an interesting story!   :)

Long before I got into all this computer hocus-pocus, spent my wasted youth in journalism - print, radio and 
television. Was even an anchor at a TV station in Poughkeepsie, NY. So been there, know how editors and their pesky 
blue pencils can be and how "revisionism is our credo" when it comes to stories, more information in, phone calls to 
the editor from angry authorities demanding "corrections," yada yada. Heh.

But NOW we've got an interesting story if the beeb published one thing and then revised it without an "editor's note" 
saying "corrects this specific detail" or other "marginal thinking." Be quite interested indeed though if the "mission 
creep" is for real. We're supposed to be spotting terrorists, not village idjits.  (grin)
