From Our Own Correspondent

I've been listening to the Podcast version of this BBC program since it hit the Net. Two of Hugh Sykes' recent pieces really disturbed me.

First there was a report from Baghdad about the continuing disintegration and dangers of everyday life there (originally broadcast in June).

Then over the weekend came this audio including his report from Beirut which leads the episode.

My compliments to Mr. Sykes and the BBC for honest reporting without spin or sanitization.
