It's hard to say exactly why this crap was released when it was released, but it seems to amount to the same sort of bait and switch we got with the so-called 'Abu Graib' 'revelations'--let's entertain people with S&M porn to distract them from our real war atrocities.
It could be that some in the 'security' community realize there is no strategic importance to Afghanistan because it is a landlocked country. Certainly deploying 100,000 light infantry with marine airwings isn't going to 'pacify' it. So no doubt some within the national security state are pushing for, at most, an airbase and proxy wars through Kabul and Pakistan puppets, especially if India agrees to it. Meanwhile, they seem to be digging in to rationalize keeping the base-embassy complex in Iraq and 50,000 'trainers' there. Also, the Bushwar Obamaites warpig Demoncrats (along with their Repugnican coalition partners) have to figure out how to keep NATO from falling apart while at the same time financing 1.5 trillion dollars a year on 'national security'. Afghanistan is now clearly not the mission to give NATO a new reason for being. Good luck to them, may they rot in the hell that is the world they create everyday.
