Karzai 'pardoned suspected drug dealers': WikiLeaks
A secret diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks says Afghan President Hamid Karzai freed dangerous detainees and pardoned suspected drug dealers because they had connections to powerful figures.
The cable, which supports the multiple allegations of corruption within the Karzai government, said that despite repeated rebukes from US officials in Kabul, the president and his attorney general authorised the release of detainees.
