Here’s Anderson Cooper, doing his thing…

And for those of you who aren’t quite sure where it is, Afghanistan is located…

… in Syria.

Afghanistan would be three countries to the east, about where the right column is on this page probably is for you.  Just past Iraq and Iran.

I guess there’s a point where U.S. foreign policy is a near-total failure in so many countries, aggravating extremism in the name of fighting it, that even the media starts to lose track.

This is probably some graphics person’s error.  But it certainly doesn’t make Anderson or the network look all that great — especially when they’re repeating the segment with neither a correction nor disclaimer.
