Defend the BBC’s reports from Afghanistan

If the attack on ITV wasn't bad enough, the Tories have branded as
“obscene” David Loyn’s brave reporting for Newsnight from behind
Taliban lines, while the Mail has accused the BBC of “undermining the
war effort”.

Loyn is one of the first journalists to have given us some insight into
just who the British army is slaughtering in such numbers in
Afghanistan -- taking the lives of hundreds of civilians at the same
time. Loyn therefore humanises the “enemy” and shows them to be poor
people angered by the corruption in the Karzai government and by the
failure of the occupation to improve their lives.

His report is required watching:

It comes at a time when the news that NATO massacred up to 85 civilians
last week has been completely buried in the news:
