Abstract

Former BBC reporter Michael Cole takes issue with the corporation for allowing the partially paralyzed correspondent Frank Gardner to report from Afghanistan. Gardner, who is dependent on a wheelchair after being shot in Saudi Arabia in 2004, would have been incapable of protecting himself if the Taliban had attacked. Cole writes: "Gardner is clearly a very brave man. But it is crazy, beyond irresponsibility, for the BBC to put a man who is partially paralyzed into the line of fire."
