We wrote a story, too. Had the same question about how much attention made sense. In the end, Prince going to great lengths to undermine Ghani with help from other Afghans is newsy IMHO. Striking quotes from both sides here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/erik-prince-in-kabul-pushes-privatization-of-the-afghan-war/2018/10/04/72a76d36-c7e5-11e8-b1ed-1d2d65b86d0c_story.html …
Yes, this is terrifying...but am I alone thinking this is a disproportionate amt of attn for a villianous war criminal with no chance of making this happen? (It's also a major distraction from what's actually going on in Afghanistan. Impending elections. Rising airstrikes. Etc)https://twitter.com/nytimesworld/status/1047919310319116288 …

Indeed, I read it. And it is news and I get the concern. But maybe I'm lamenting the lack of space for things like the insane spike in civcas, the drought, the peace process, etc. Which is a broader, slightly separate issue. And I'm definitely not critiquing journalists here

Well, it's Afghan lives that are going to be affected by it, not yours, so yeah, don't pay attention to it, please. Also, ignore the dead people in Iraq who were killed by Blackwater, their lives didn't matter either. And yeah, White 'experts' and their feelings are always right.
