KABUL if the administration of President Hamid Karzai freed 65 prisoners from the Bagram jail in Parwan province.
Senator Lindsey Graham, speaking at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday, proposed the aid should be suspended until after the April 5 presidential election. “President Karzai has basically sidestepped his own rule of law.”
According to news website Bloomberg, lawmakers of both parties voiced disappointment with Karzai’s increasingly erratic behaviour and anti-American tirade.
Karzai could free the prisoners within two days despite objections from US and allied forces, believed the senator from South Carolina. He has long been a supporter of the US role in Afghanistan.
