Is it time for a review of the status of the WGLFC * ? Current holder John Simpson put a brave face on last week's failure to make it all the way to Kabul, filing from the Afghan border, before turning back to interview Imran Khan in Islamabad. Thence back to the UK, to present a new secret-squirrel show for BBC2.
Meanwhile other BBC lines of communication got Secunder Kermani in and out of Taliban-controlled Kabul, and at the end of the week managed to fly in Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen. Maybe it's time to take the 'travel anywhere' off Simpson's twitter profile.
