Wouldn't the fact that Miss Joya has been elected to the national assembly be considered a positive result? More to the point - what exactly is she talking about? Act independantly how? She says we're doing more harm than good but gives absolutely no suggestion about how we should change what we're doing. What she would like to see change in regards to policy is uncertain given her brief statement in the OP. It could be that she explained this in its entirety but the stated article is more concerned with spreading disdain for the Afghan mission amongst the Canadian public than getting Joya’s true point across.

I'm not sure I understand your comment. My understanding of Afghanistans oil reserves doesn't exactly put it in the same league as Saudi Arabia so I disagree that this anything to do with oil. The fact that some warlords have been elected into the Afghan govenment does not really surpirise me as war and the taliban is all some Afghani's have ever known.

What I find most disturbing about this is the lack of foresight by CSIS in ensuring an accurate and timely flow of information, regardless of the reports original language.
