Leaving its tradition of the anarchic chaos and “might-makes-right” regimes of the past, Afghanistan’s movement to self-governance is as revolutionary as any other in history. The change is more dramatic than the American Revolution, when the new American democracy maintained a representative form of government sim- ilar to our British roots in developing its new Constitution. The change is also more positive than the French Revolution, which resurged into tyranny and anarchy at various points. The Afghan Revolution of democratic gover- nance, albeit aided and guided by international military and political powers, is thus one of the most historic events of our time. Written by a U.S. Army military intelligence officer, the discussion herein provides readers a candid and frank account of Afghanistan’s first presiden- tial election and transition to democratic self-governance. In particular, I speak to the security apparatus and measures protecting the election. The election security process was a culminating defeat for the al Qaeda and Taliban terrorist insurgents attempting to frustrate Afghanistan’s develop- ment into a democratic nation. This narrative on Afghan development is interspersed with firsthand, personal accounts of my ten-month deployment as an officer serving in the U.S. military in Afghanistan. Embedded with the United Nations in a civilian-clothes role, I can also speak from the perspec- tive of a UN security officer and bring some added experience to which most soldiers are not exposed on the battlefield. I have tried to make this “ground truth” as much as possible. So while this book is the story of the security efforts that led to the internationally acclaimed success of the historic Afghan elections process, I am also sharing P1: 000 GGBD145FM C9999/Morgan August 9, 2007 2:35 x Preface my personal story and personal experiences. A firsthand account like this has the advantage of immediate relation to the events involved, but it is just one person’s experience, and in that way, a “snapshot” of the moment in history upon which it is based. This book will hopefully tell the story of a nation and at the same time give you insight into the life of one soldier during his service to a country at war. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to several people without whom this book would not have been possible. First and foremost, I must thank the many people whose stories and opinions appear throughout the book. I would also like to express my gratitude with the following authors who shared their advice freely: Cole Kingseed, Nathaniel Fick, Andrew Exum, and Anita Gandolfo (to whom I owe a special thank you). Hilary Claggett of Greenwood is an exceptional editor and has been a tremendously helpful partner throughout the entire process. Nicole Azze of Greenwood and Saloni Jain of Aptara were extremely helpful in the production phase, ensuring the book made it to the finish line. Finally, two very good friends, Jennifer Walton and Linda Nguyen, amazed me by their willingness to help, conscientiousness, and uncanny ability to identify my mistakes, making this book so much better because of their thoughtful suggestions. P1: 000 GGBD145C01 C9999/Morgan August 8, 2007 23:56 CHAPTER 1 Stories of Afghanistan The presidential election was a crucial milestone and culminating point in the international intervention in Afghanistan, the development and recon- struction process there, and the fight against al Qaeda and international Islamist terrorist organizations. The election would be a clear step forward for Afghanistan as a democratic nation capable of self-governance in the modern Western model. It would also be an opportunity for the public to ratify the new beginnings for Afghanistan by participating in the vote. The Taliban insurgency and its allies had decided to make the election a focal point as well. They were massing their efforts to disrupt the election, derail the democratization process, embarrass the foreign Western interlopers, and to set conditions for the reemergence of a Muslim state. The United Nations was conducting several development operations in Afghanistan in 2004, but it recognized supporting the elections as its most important role. Similarly, the international military presence in Afghanistan, led by the United States, placed the successful Afghan presidential election as its highest priority. A month before the November 2004 U.S. election, the Afghan milestone could either be a visible and substantial demonstration of progress or a seri- ous setback for the credibility of the American government under the Bush Administration. I spent ten months in Afghanistan serving in several different capacities as a military intelligence captain in the U.S. Army. This narrative will describe my experiences during this deployment. Being responsible for intelligence for the Afghan election gave me insights into the democratic process for the country as well as key events leading up to the election. These are some of the principal themes of this book. But first, I am going to tell the story of four Afghans whose paths crossed mine during my visit to their country: Zali Kha, P1: 000 GGBD145C01 C9999/Morgan August 8, 2007 23:56 2 A Democracy Is Born a small girl in a remote province; Khoshall Murad, a young man yearning for a better Afghanistan; Siddiqa Sahar Gul, a young woman working in a system of new rights and freedoms for women; and Lieutenant Colonel Abdul Mohammed, a battle-hardened military officer desperately fighting for his new country. STORIES OF FOUR AFGHANS Much of the story I will relate herein is a story of people in Afghanistan.

Parked outside was a full-sized black Mercedes, definitely the first of its kind to grace the curb in front of our humble Cape Cod in Queens. Unfastening the chain safety lock, I opened the door. On the stoop stood a stately woman dressed in black leather. She was looking back toward the Mercedes where an imposing dark- haired man, wearing a long wool coat, stood with his arms folded high on his chest. I had no idea who this woman was, or what she wanted. In one arm she clutched a colorful tote bag.

  • Shooting Glasses and Hunting Eyewear
    Shooting Glasses and Hunting Eyewear Hunters and gun enthusiasts require eye protection, whether at a shooting range or in the woods. All firearms have a certain amount of recoil, and many shooting activities take place outdoors, where wind, sun, dust, tree branches and brush all can cause eye injuries. Pre­made nonprescription sports goggles are usually acceptable if you don't require vision correction or if you wear contact lenses. Most of these goggles have a wraparound style to shield the eyes from wind and dust. However, lens quality can vary in pre­made goggles. Make sure the lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is the most impact­resistant material available. Frame features to look for If you need prescription lenses in order to focus well, or if you simply want to use the best shooting eyewear available, shooting glasses in styles similar to aviator sunglasses are always popular. Eyewear designed specifically for shooters, however, has a few more features than the traditional aviator­shaped frame for everyday (or “dress”) wear. Most importantly, the frame should be a safety­rated model, with a strong rim to hold the lenses in place. Some styles have a "sweat bar" that runs the width of the frame above the lenses to add more stability to the frame and keep it steady on the face. Others have special padding on the frame around the eyes to cushion the frame against your face in case the gun recoils too far. It also helps to shield your eyes from wind and dust. The temples of shooting glasses are often designed with spring hinges that allow the frame to flex without breaking when recoil occurs.
