On BBC Radio 4 just, Admiral Stephen Baker, speaking from Washington, said
that in the past US policy had been '+too+ sensitive to 'collateral damage'
among civilians' and this policy 'was being reviewed'.
He also seemed to believe that the pharmaceuticals factory blown up by 15
Tomahawk missiles in 1998 was in a country called 'Sue-dan' and that the
attacks on the WTC took place last Monday.
