Gibson also claimed that reporter Andrew Gilligan, who was covering the 2003 Iraq War for BBC Radio 4 in Baghdad, had: "... insisted on air that the Iraqi Army was heroically repulsing an incompetent American Military" (See:[1]) However, Gibson's criticisms were severely criticised by Ofcom when it investigated viewer complaints, stating "Fox News was therefore in breach of Sections 2.1 (respect for truth), 2.7 (opportunity to take part), and 3.5(b) (personal view programmes - opinions expressed must not rest upon false evidence) of the Programme Code.".
