Pakistan: Now or Never? Perspectives on Pakistan
March 23rd, 2009
Talking to the Taliban and the last man standing
Posted by: Myra MacDonald
Tags: Pakistan: Now or Never, Afghanistan, Obama, Pashtun,Taliban, talks, United States
The debate about whether the United States should open talks with Afghan insurgents appears to be gathering momentum — so much so that it is beginning to acquire an air of inevitability, without there ever being a specific policy announcement.
The U.N. special envoy to Afghanistan, Kai Eide, became the latest to call for talks whenhe told France’s Le Monde newspaper that reconciliation was an essential element. “But it is important to talk to the people who count,” he said. ”A fragmented approach to the insurgency will not work. You need to be ambitious and include all the Taliban movement.”
His remarks follow much more guarded comments by President Barack Obama whosaid in an interview with the New York Times that Washington might look for “comparable opportunities in Afghanistan and in the Pakistani region” as it did in Iraq, involving “reaching out to people that we would consider to be Islamic fundamentalists, but who were willing to work with us.”
Vice President Joe Biden has also said that U.S. assessments were that only five percent of the Taliban were “incorrigible”. He told a news conference in Brussels that whatever happened would have to be initiated by the Afghan government. “But I do think it is worth engaging and determining whether or not there are those who are willing to participate in a secure and stable Afghan state.”
According to the New York Times, the Afghan government has already begun exploring the potential for negotiations with the Taliban leadership council of Mullah Omar and with mujahideen leaderGulbuddin Hekmatyar. Al Jazeera has also reportedthat the Afghan government has begun talks with Hekmatyar, while the Christian Science Monitor said Kabul had opened preliminary negotiations with the network of mujahideen commander Jalaluddin Haqqani.
I have just written an analysis on what any U.S. dialogue with Afghan insurgents would mean for India and Pakistan, two countries with a major stake in any political settlement, and am still trying to pin down the implications for other major regional players, including Russia, Iran and China.
One theme that is emerging is the extent to which any dialogue with the Afghan insurgents would aim to peel them away from the Islamist ideology of al Qaeda by stressing their Pashtun identity above their religious affiliation. (The Pashtun lost their dominant position in Afghanistan when the Pashtun Taliban were toppled by the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.)
According to C. Raja Mohan, quoted in my analysis, “Addressing Pashtun grievances is indeed the key to any settlement. The real problem is different: all Taliban are Pashtun; not all Pashtun are Taliban. Finding the space here is the real challenge.”
The distinction between stressing the Pashtun identity over the religious identity of the Afghan insurgents could prove to be fundamental in the coming months (and that is not to suggest that the insurgents can be reduced to a single identity — you have to assume that like everyone else they have multiple loyalties, to religion, tribe, nationality, ethnic group, family etc etc).
And that brings me to what I think are the most interesting questions about any U.S.-backed talks with Afghan insurgents. How would you frame these talks in such a way as to reach a political settlement that would satisfy both the people of Afghanistan and the regional players?
Would you, for example, use Saudi Arabia as an intermediary, as has been done in the past? Saudi Arabia had close links with the Taliban before they were ousted in 2001, and is also a U.S. ally. At the same time, its foreign policy tends to have a religious tint to it, and its involvement could create problems with Iran - a major rival in the Islamic world, which also wants to be sure that any government in Kabul respects the rights of Afghanistan’s non-Pashtun Persian-speakers and of its Shi’ite minority.
Does the United States have a choice? Or, facing financial mayhem at home, will it accept any settlement in Afghanistan as long as it eliminates al Qaeda as a global threat? (Shazia Rafi at The Women’s Media Center and Fareed Zakaria at Newsweek both have interesting takes on how far the United States should be ready to compromise with hardline Islamists.)
I don’t have answers, but I did scroll back to a blog I posted last May asking:Who will be left standing when the Afghan war ends? At the time, I asked the Reuters reporter who covered the fall of Saigon in 1975 for his answer to that question. He quoted me the following truism of asymmetric warfare; “the strong lose if they don’t win and the weak win if they survive.”
The situation in Afghanistan seems to have moved very quickly since then, until we are now asking not whether the United States should support dialogue with the insurgents, but how.

Costco, Starbucks, Whole Foods Offer Alternative Union Bill

By Holly Rosenkrantz
March 22 (Bloomberg) -- Costco Wholesale Corp., Starbucks Corp. and Whole Foods Market Inc. offered an alternative to the union-backed “card-check” legislation that U.S. business groups are spending millions of dollars to defeat.
The legislation, known as the Employee Free Choice Act, would let employees form a union once a majority signed cards requesting one. Currently, companies have the right to require a secret-ballot election to unionize.
Costco, Starbucks and Whole Foods consider the legislation “seriously flawed” and are pushing a different approach that would guarantee a secret ballot in forming a union, said James Sinegal, Costco’s chief executive officer, on a conference call today with reporters. The card-check measure, backed by President Barack Obama, is organized labor’s top goal this year.
“Our proposal is not anti-union, and it’s not anti- business,” Sinegal said. About 20 percent of his company’s workers are represented by the Teamsters Union. Starbucks and Whole Foods employees aren’t unionized.
Under the alternative being sought by the three companies, management could demand a secret-ballot election, and a provision of the original bill requiring binding arbitration for union contracts would be dropped. Penalties would be increased for companies that take action against workers before union elections and refuse to participate in collective bargaining.
The alternative would also set a fixed period in which a union election must be held, and would provide unions with the same access to meet with workers as employers get before an organizing vote.
Discussed With Staff
Lanny Davis, a former White House special counsel under President Bill Clinton, is pushing the alternative measure and said he has discussed it with the staffs of about two dozen Democratic and Republican senators.
Most indicated the senators for whom they worked were positive about the approach, “including many Democratic senators who were co-sponsors” of the bill in 2007, according to Davis. The 2007 bill failed to get the 60 votes needed to cut off debate in the Senate.
“We see our approach as a less polarized way to reform current labor law and level the playing field,” Davis said. “We will wait and see if other companies want to join us.”
‘BY CEOS, FOR CEOS’
The chief sponsors of the Employee Free Choice Act, Representative George Miller of California and Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa, both Democrats, said in an e-mailed statement that the company-backed alternative is “unacceptable” and “written by CEOs, for CEOs.”
Bill Samuel, legislative director for the AFL-CIO, said “a proposal coming from corporations, some of whom have their own history of violating workers’ rights, is simply not an alternative.”
Business groups trying to defeat the Employee Free Choice Group rejected the alternative approach as well.
“No proposal that makes it easier for union bosses (or employers) to impose forced unionism on workers is acceptable,” said Doug Stafford, vice president of the National Right to Work Committee, in a statement. “Costco, Whole Foods and Starbucks should learn from the mistakes of the Big Three automakers who pursued this same kind of compromise approach toward legislation seeking new union special privileges in the past.”
Seattle-based Starbucks is the world’s largest coffee-shop chain. Issaquah, Washington-based Costco is the biggest U.S. warehouse-club chain. Whole Foods of Austin, Texas, is the largest natural-foods grocer in the U.S.
Wal-Mart, Home Depot
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Home Depot Inc. and Burger King Holdings Inc. are among companies that oppose the card-check bill, as does billionaire investorWarren Buffett, an Obama supporter and adviser. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has said it will spend more than $20 million to defeat the measure.
The Employee Free Choice Act would amend the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, the Depression-era law that helped build the modern labor union movement in the U.S. It would let workers form a union when a majority of company employees sign a card requesting representation, rather than permitting their employer to require a secret-ballot election run by the National Labor Relations Board.
Several Democratic senators -- including Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor from Wal-Mart’s home state of Arkansas, and Mark Warner of Virginia -- have said they aren’t sure they will support the current version of the card-check measure. Some lawmakers have said the bill, expected to boost union membership, could cost jobs and be a burden during the current recession.
Davis said that the companies haven’t yet discussed their alternative with the Obama administration. A White House spokesman had no immediate comment.

DEATH SQUAD LEADER ‘WAS TOP CIA AGENT’
SERBIA: Gabriel Ronay
THE LATE President Milosevic's secret police chief and organizer of Serb death squads during the genocidal ethnic cleansing of disintegrating Yugoslavia was the United States' top CIA agent in Belgrade, according to the independent Belgrade Radio B92.
The claim that from 1992 until the end of the decade, Jovica Stanisic, head of Serbia's murderous DB Secret Police, was regularly informing his CIA handlers of the thinking in Milosevic's inner circle has shocked the region.
Stanisic is said to have loyally served his two masters for eight years. He is facing war crimes charges at the International Criminal Court at The Hague.
In the terrifying years of Yugoslavia's internecine wars, he acted as the willing "muscle" behind Milosevic's genocidal campaigns in Croatia, Kosovo and Bosnia, including Sebrenica.
According to the charges he faces, Stanisic was "part of a joint criminal enterprise that included former Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic and other Serbian politicians".
Dermot Groome, The Hague's chief prosecutor, has specifically accused him of sending in the Serb Scorpion and Red Beret death squads into the states seeking independence from Belgrade. Stanisic has pleaded not guilty.
Like in a Cold War spy thriller, Serbia's secret police chief met his CIA handlers in safe houses, parks and boats on the river Sava to betray his master's action plans. He provided, it is claimed, information on the whereabouts of NATO hostages, aided CIA operatives in their search for Muslim mass graves and helped the US set up secret bases in Bosnia to monitor the implementation of the 1995 Dayton peace accord.
This has raised awkward questions for Washington. With Stanisic providing chapter and verse of the genocidal slaughter of Croats, Bosnians and Albanians from the early 1990s, should President Clinton have cut a deal with Milosevic at Dayton, Ohio, ending the Bosnian war on such equitable terms for the Serbs? Or, using Stanisic's evidence, should the Americans not have unmasked Milosevic and Radovan Karadzic, the then head of Republika Srpska, as genocidal war criminals and demanded their surrender?
From his prison cell at The Hague, Stanisic countered the charges facing him with an aide memoir portraying himself as "a person who had sought to moderate Milosevic and had done a great deal to moderate the crisis".
In an unusual move, the CIA has submitted classified documents to the court that confirm Stanisic's "undercover operative role in helping to bring peace to the region and aiding the agency's work. He helped defuse some of the most explosive actions of the Bosnian war."
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, William Lofgren, his original CIA recruiter and handler, now retired, said: "Stanisic provided valuable information from Milosevic's inner circle. But he never took money from the CIA, worked with the agency on operations or took steps that he would have considered a blatant betrayal of his boss."
Thus the judges at The Hague are having to judge a man who allegedly sent the Scorpion death squads to Srebrenica to "deal" with men and boys fleeing the UN-protected Muslim enclave, while working with the CIA trying to end Milosevic's ethnic wars.
The way the CIA apparently viewed their Belgrade "asset" is revealed in an interview with Balkan Insight, a little known south-east European publication.
The emerging picture is a quaint reflection from a hall of mirrors. Greg Miller of the Los Angeles Times, writing about the links between the CIA and the Serb secret police chief, is quoted as saying: "As I said in the LAT story, the CIA do not see Stanisic as a choirboy. When you talk to people who work in espionage, this is often the case.
"Because of the nature of that job, of that assignment, they are working with people who do not have unblemished records, it would be difficult for them to be effective if they only worked with people who had unblemished records.
"People in Belgrade who have been following the career of Jovica Stanisic would say that this was a guy who was an expert in his field; he was a highly-trained and highly-effective spy. His motivation may have been that he wanted to know what the United States was up to.
"He did not believe that Milosevic was taking the country in the right direction - so he wanted to influence events. He saw himself as an important guy who could pull strings behind the scenes to make things happen in Belgrade."
Stanisic apparently did so on his own terms, while trying to remain a loyal Serb. He did not succeed.
Now he is having to account for his actions as Milosevic's loyal lieutenant at The Hague.

| | Former FBI Director, General, Diplomat, Clergy Call for Presidential Commission on Detention, Treatment and Transfer of Detainees Press Release
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Leading experts, including a former FBI director, an Army general who investigated detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib, and a former Under Secretary of State, today called upon President Obama to appoint a nonpartisan commission to fully investigate and examine the detention, treatment, and transfer of detainees following the September 11th terrorist attacks. The commission's proposed mandate would allow it to identify detainee policy failures and their causes in order to formulate recommendations to address problems identified in the report. The group issued the following statement detailing their call to action: We urge President Obama to appoint a nonpartisan commission of distinguished Americans to examine, and provide a comprehensive report on, policies and actions related to the detention, treatment, and transfer of detainees after 9/11 and the consequences of those actions, and to make recommendations for future policy in this area. The statement was signed by: Juan E. Méndez, President of the International Center for Transitional Justice; Thomas Pickering, former Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs; Judge William Sessions, former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Major General Antonio M. Taguba, USA (Ret.); and Rev. Dr. John H. Thomas, General Minister and President of the United Church of Christ. In addition, 18 leading human rights organizations have endorsed the statement. "The president has a responsibility to protect and defend Americans and unfortunately, many questions remain unanswered as to whether the detention, transfer, and treatment of detainees following the September 11th attacks were in the country's best interest," said Sessions, the former FBI director. "We need to understand what happened and how to prevent any illegal actions from taking place in the future." Pickering, the former Under Secretary of State said, "the new administration cannot be effective in looking forward without a full accounting and understanding of how American policy got to where we are today." He added, "a nonpartisan commission, removed from the burdensome barriers of politics, is a well-proven method of accomplishing these goals." The organizations endorsing this effort are: Amnesty International USA; the Brennan Center for Justice; the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, New York University, School of Law; the Center for the Study of Human Rights in the Americas, University of California, Davis; the Center for Victims of Torture; the Constitution Project; the Human Rights Center, University of California, Berkeley; Human Rights First; Human Rights Watch; the International Center for Transitional Justice; the International Justice Network; the Jacob Blaustein Institute for the Advancement of Human Rights; the Jewish Council for Public Affairs; the National Institute of Military Justice; the National Religious Campaign Against Torture; the Open Society Institute; Physicians for Human Rights; and the Rutherford Institute. A copy of the statement is available for download below. Ambassador Thomas Pickering, who endorsed the statement, testified at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
