Yes - I've been following this story too!

I really can't understand why Helen Boaden's been through tribunal/court (with the attendant costs involved!) to 'protect' this info when seemingly it has been 'on the web' all the time!

Reading through the list of BBC peoples who were listed as attending (even if they didn't actually attend!) I can't understand what many were doing there! Talk about duplication of effort!!
