Our Man in Afghanistan
The story everyone but the ABC missed:
Tony Abbott actually wanted to go on missions with the troops in Afghanistan.
I knew he wanted to go back to the polls, but to force a by-election in Manly?
(this made me angry - the hooha about not visiting with the PM and "jet lag" I thought was a nonstory - it was up to Abbott to decide when he wanted to visit the troops - but to want to put them and himself actively at risk reveals that, as Guy Rundle pointed out in Crikey, he really is just a 16 year old boy.)

No stories like that should originate from the SMH, the journos should have some ethics. I didn't read any coward stuff anyway - it was about jet lag, what I saw.
