Another Full Report Omitting Key Facts

To:-- BBC News

Re:-- The Crisis in Georgia, in which the BBC map fails to demark the the gas and oil pipelines in the region.

Your map of Georgia accompanying today's reportage on Russia's pullout, is highly inaccurate and misleading IN THAT it fails to show the route of the Halliburton built TRANS-CASPIAN pipeline.

BBC can hardly be taken seriously when such a key and critical fact is omitted from a map which supposedly seeks to provide information in graphic form.

Whether or not you write about the role of the pipeline in the story, you must at least show the pipe line's route so that readers could make informed inferences.
