So 2 engineers are named, both had pretty splashy blog posts, and Liguori appears to have timed her resignation with the release of two big interviews as well.

Neither Liguori, nor Kirsch are American citizens. From what I can tell, neither even worked in America.

I guess I don't see how this is news worthy? Would anyone care at all if two American engineers quit their tech jobs because the Canadian or Japanese militaries were contracting their product?

At the risk of being overly reductive, a story is newsworthy if the editor decides it is. So one question you could ask is, why did the BBC editor think this was newsworthy?

well the Canadian and Japanese militaries are not engaged in imperialistic wars of terror currently
