DTN News - ANALYSIS By Goodspeed: Afghanistan — NATO’s Partner In War, Mistrust....News Source Info # 1308

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - December 2, 2010: Canadian Ambassador William Crosbie’s leaked diplomatic cable highlights the extremely fragile relationship that exists between the government of Afghanistan and the NATO alliance.
It is now obvious from Mr. Crosbie’s cable and the U.S. documents in the WikiLeaks trove that relations between Hamid Karzai, the Afghanistan president, and his foreign backers have become particularly poisonous.
Relations on a long list of issues continue to deteriorate, including disputed elections, corruption, a banking scandal, as well as the political and security situation.
The leaked Canadian memo is an independent confirmation of an earlier description of the corrupt and complex dynamics of the Afghan government made last year by Karl Eikenberry, the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan.
