Good heavens.
Prince William is there (Camp Bastion) right now. The Army probably has better
security...

From "Carry On Up the Khyber"?
Former British Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Richard Dannatt, agreed
warfare had entered a new era and needed the support of development
programmes."In conventional wars, you talk about winning and losing."What we're
trying to do here is succeed sufficiently to put Afghanistan as a sufficiently
stable state that can look after itself and doesn't become ungoverned space
into which al-Qaeda or other terrorist groups could reoccupy," he said.Gen
Richards comments came as the Foreign Office apologised to a group of MPs after
a fact-finding trip to Afghanistan and Pakistan had to be called off because of
a security lapse.Next week's visit by members of the Commons defence select
committee was cancelled after an unencrypted e-mail was sent out by an embassy
official in Kabul, prompting fears that the MPs' safety may have been
compromised.The Foreign Office said it would be trying to rearrange a visit for
the MPs.A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We
have offered our apologies for this regrettable lapse in our procedures and
have assured the committee that we will do all we can to arrange a successful
visit in the future."
