State Department Abandons Rule of Law, Allies: Marshall Wilde

"The United States has abandoned our most effective and loyal friends in Afghanistan by deliberately failing to implement the Afghan Allies Protection Act.  In 2011, I served as the chief adviser on rule of law for the International Security Assistance Force in Kabul (ISAF).  I witnessed the heroism and steadfast courage of our Afghan employees as they resisted threats from the Taliban and from their own government.  Now, as we draw down and leave them vulnerable, our government refuses to follow its own laws to save them." - Marshall Wilde, Dec. 6, 2012.
