More Criticism of the Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) of Afghanistan

A commentator with experience in Afghanistan has provided us some insight about the Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) in Afghanistan.  He agrees with the recent Karzai statement that the PRTs should be dismantled and the money turned over to the Afghan government.  Joshua Foust writes this in "The AFPAK Channel" blog for Foreign Policy Magazine.  Hmmmmm.  So turn over the money to the Afghan government and let them head up development projects.  Sure . . . that will work.  Why don't we just wire the money to the Dubai and Swiss bank accounts of the corrupt Afghan officials and eliminate the middle man?  Read his commentary in "Actually, Karzai is right about PRTs", Foreign Policy, February 8, 2011.
