Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Kerry Makes Surprise Visit to Afghanistan

HeadlineMar 26, 2013

John Kerry’s visit to Afghanistan appeared aimed at easing public tensions following allegations of abuses by U.S. special forces in Wardak province and President Karzai’s widely reported suggestion the U.S. is colluding with the Taliban. President Karzai said Monday his words had been misinterpreted.

President Karzai: “Now, the media took that to say that I said there is a collusion. I never used the word 'collusion' between the Taliban and the U.S., and those were not my words. Those were the [words] picked up by the media.”
