Ah, well, you know the BBC has been thoroughly discredited. ;-)

I recently listened to a top diplomat (under the Chatham House Rule,
or I'd name names) tell us that things are going just swimingly in
Afghanistan, and when called on it by some VERY people who also are
there on the ground (and even leave Kabul at times), admitted and
defended his spin by saying that the other side has been covered well
by the media. I'm sure that the fact that this ambitious young fellow
handles hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars in aid has little
effect on his opinions.
