ELIZABETH JACKSON: Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd says that as prime minister he never hid the 'grim reality' of the war in Afghanistan from the Australian people. 

A diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks yesterday quoted Mr Rudd as saying the Afghanistan mission 'scared the hell' out of him.

Mr Rudd is currently on tour of Asia and the Middle East. Overnight, he visited Australian peacekeepers on a military base in Egypt's Sinai Desert where he spoke with our Middle East correspondent, Ben Knight.

BEN KNIGHT: Well, Minister does the Afghanistan War still scare the hell out of you?
