Yesterday, Attorney General Eric Himpton Holder was in Kabul, Afghanistan. He gave a press conference in the US Embassy, and praised Afghan President Hamid Karzai for his efforts to fight corruption – even though the Afghan leader’s latest election had been mired by revelations of fraud.
Holder also met with his Afghan counterpart, Attorney General Mohammad Ishaq Aloko. The main reason for Holder to be in the country was to give his official seal of approval to a drive to root out corruption in Afghanistan.
On Tuesday, Aloko had defended himself against accusations that suggested he had been pressured to allow powerful Afghan figures to escape prosecution. Aloko, who had been in his post for two years, was not the only figure in the Afghan elite to be accused of bowing to pressure.
