The real scandal is not hacking but Helmand

Telegraph
"Yet the 75-page report by the Parliamentary Defence Committee, the details of which we reveal today, is a precise and shocking exposé of how British troops on duty in Helmand, Afghanistan, from 2006 onwards were routinely failed by their senior officers and government ministers. As scandals go, it is among the very worst.

From the outset, the report concludes, the mission in Helmand was badly planned. The size of the force was capped at 3,150, around 650 of whom were active combat troops, with a budget of £808 million over three years. The capability of the Taliban, however, was far from capped: it was a highly fluid, serious and adaptable threat."
