From the first day of BBC war coverage in Iraq, March 2003, the viewers' complaints log - Select highlights:
Objected to the use of the term 'Palestine'. "I believe there is no such place."
Felt it was inappropriate to show footage of a United States helicopter with 'Beast 666' written on the side, due to the religious connotations.
Claimed that an on-screen graphic used a lowercase "i" for Iraq and was annoyed by this.
Felt that the reporter's English was of a poor quality. "The reporter referred to the 'amount of young people' in Iraq, but I felt that it should have been 'the number of young people'."
Felt that the programme was biased in favour of the anti-war perspective, as it showed footage of Iraqi children suffering.
