However, the second part of the story titled "Israeli denial" has been substantially expanded, making up about two thirds of the whole piece, but still only has two sentences about the non-story that none of the eleven are Israeli. Straight reporting, concentrating purely on the facts, yet again from the BBC - what value we Brits get from our licence fee. Dave - thanks for making it a main item - I'm feeling quite chuffed!
