Colleagues may have seen this story in the media yesterday.
The News of the World lost a case to try and continue an injunction
preventing George Galloway MP from publishing pictures of its reporter
Mazhar Mahmood (aka the Fake Sheikh).
Listen to Galloway's Radio 4 interview here:

b=news&edition=d&q=George+Galloway&go.x=30&go.y=14>
I can't find any other references to this story but I am sure colleagues
on this BB may assist.
Apparently the News of the World cited legal cases involving Mary Bell
and Thomspon and Venables to argue that Mahmood had a right to anonymity
since his life would be in danger.
It will be interesting to see how this develops as it is an example of
the overlap between DPA and Human Rights.
