AG Eric Holder to the rescue – goes to Afghanistan – Sure

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was in the Afghan capital to talk with officials about improving the justice system and fighting corruption Wednesday, a day after Afghanistan’s top prosecutor defended himself against allegations that he’s being pressured not to pursue cases against powerful figures.

 I am sure this will add to the confusion. When in doubt, send in the lawyers. It was the first thing that  Obama did with the Oil Spill- so why not.  They know nothing about Holder, but with his record here in the USA he should be a hit. Knowing perfectly well of the Afghan corruption, I would hardly believe that Holder is the “go to guy.”  Maybe McCrystal was on to something. It doesn’t sound like Eikenberry is a big hit over there either. This is the first time our AG has gone outside our country fox reports. We only send the very best.

Mohammad Ishaq Aloko also accused U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry of overstepping his diplomatic authority by suggesting that he step down as attorney general if he wasn’t going to charge an Afghan banker in a corruption case.

“It is against all diplomatic ethics that the U.S. ambassador is telling me: ‘If you don’t put this person in prison, you must resign,”‘ Aloko told reporters, recounting a conversation he had with Eikenberry two weeks ago. “I am the attorney general of an independent country.”

Caitlin Hayden, a spokesman for Eikenberry, did not comment on the conversation, saying the ambassador’s discussions with Afghan officials were private. More at Fox News
