Karzai sticks his finger in America's eye again on Taliban prisoner releases .... maybe Biden was right about him:http://m.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/karzai-is-unlikely-to-meet-deadline-on-signing-long-term-security-deal-us-envoy-says/2014/01/09/2a9f01fc-7957-11e3-b1c5-739e63e9c9a7_story.html …
@speechboy71 We didn't even meet obligations of NDAA on meaningful detention review w/these prisoners.

@emptywheel Well that isn't the issue or why he's doing this. -
@speechboy71 Really? He told you that? Oh. Okay. Then I guess that excuses your celebration of detention w/o review. -
@emptywheel Well obviously I didn't say that. But if you're arguing Karzai has a deep commitment to the rule of law, best of luck w/that -
@speechboy71 I'm saying Karzai critics usu ignore that night raids & detention reveal us as arbitrary occupiers, not partners in governance -
@emptywheel Read the piece I just sent you. I've been saying that for a while. -
@speechboy71 Though I think we both agree we've set up Karzai to act like an asshole. -
@emptywheel Sure, but he is also an AH. What he's doing right now on the BSA will do serious harm to his country -
@speechboy71 That's a possibility, but it's not clear it'll do more harm than not having us there w/impunity. - 8 more replies
