Diary from Pakistan
By Edward Stourton

|
|
Since September 11 we've had correspondents and presenters all over the world, sending back reports about how the political landscape has changed.
Edward Stourton sent this diary from Pakistan.
10th October
Arrival in Pakistan
"He told me about a fatwa that would make people like me - by virtue of being British - a legitimate target for all Muslims here".
11th October
Co-presenting from Pakistan
"Her comments about climbing over cables and round air conditioning units are every bit as forthright as what she has to say about the American bombing".
12th October
Another day, another rooftop
"The frontier constabulary are on hand to help the police should things turn ugly. They've brought machine guns with them".
13th October
Everyone profiteers from war
"Eager young men extract wads of dollars with dubious promises of interviews with Osama bin Laden's third cousin twice removed".
14th October
A well-deserved rest
"Journalists can’t relax – especially not in a country where the option of drinking yourself into oblivion isn’t open – they operate on the shark-like principle that if you’re not moving you die".
15th October
Time to head home
"The moment you leave a story it's bound to turn epoch-making. I'm sure we'll be back soon".
