Lax laws allow US companies to be used for crimes

From:   www.ap.org
Lax state laws allow arms traffickers, drug kingpins and money launderers to use U.S. companies to hide their illicit activities from investigators, government officials said Thursday. An example is the case of Viktor Bout, a Russian businessman accused of supplying dictators and warlords with weapons used in civil wars in South America, the Middle East and Africa. Bout used a network of shell companies around the world, including a dozen U.S. corporations, to carry out his activities, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing. One Delaware-based holding company linked to Bout was used in the late ... Read Full Story

Key senator says Afghanistan mission in jeopardy

From:   www.ap.org
Saying the U.S. mission in Afghanistan is in "serious jeopardy" and more troops are needed to combat an increasingly potent Taliban, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee stands at odds against an influential Democratic colleague on military matters. Sen. Dianne Feinstein's views are more closely aligned with those of key Republicans than members of her own party. Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of Senate Armed Services Committee, urged a more methodical approach that begins with crafting a new, comprehensive strategy for Afghanistan. "I'm saying at this time, don't send more combat troops," said Levin, D-Mich., who wants the emphasis to be on strengthening Afghanistan's ... Read Full Story

Senate blocks commander's testimony before new Afghan strategy

From:   www.afp.com
The US Senate on Thursday rejected an attempt by Republican Senator John McCain to have the top US commander in Afghanistan testify before President Barack Obama announces his decision on a new Afghan war strategy. Lawmakers voted 59 to 40 to reject the McCain amendment, which called for General Stanley McChrystal and others to testify before Congress about the direction of the war in Afghanistan by November 15. "Unfortunately, now Congress must rely on news outlets for access to our military leaders," McCain said in a statement. Besides McChrystal, the McCain measure called for testimony by General David Petraeus, the head of US Central ... Read Full Story

US Senator urges Afghan ramp-up to fight war

From:   www.afp.com
The United States should focus on training and equipping Afghanistan's security forces as it weighs what troop levels are needed to fight the war there, Democratic Senator Carl Levin said Monday. Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement that he agreed with the top US and NATO commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, that "additional resources will be required." "My recommendation is that in filling those resource requirements, we should emphasize expanding the size and capability of the Afghan army and national police," said the senator. Levin said the United States should also provide Afghan forces with the intelligence ... Read Full Story

US lawmakers to quiz military chief on Afghan war

From:   www.afp.com
US President Barack Obama's top uniformed military adviser was expected to defend his Afghanistan strategy Tuesday to lawmakers deeply divided over sending more troops to fight the unpopular war. Admiral Michael Mullen, whom Obama renominated to another two-year term as chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, was to face the Senate Armed Services Committee with leading lawmakers warning against ramping up US force levels. Most of the criticism has come from Obama's left flank, as Democratic allies have grown increasingly vocal in recent weeks about opposing a troop increase and wanting clear measures for success as well as clear benchmarks to measure ...

Carl Levin in the Crossfire
The middle can be an awkward place. NRO's Cliff May attended a RAND conference on Afghanistan and didn't like what he heard from the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman: I stayed on to hear Sen. Carl Levin. He argued that in Afghanistan a “change in strategy is essential and more important than force levels.” His implication: We can have a change in strategy without increasing force levels. The new strategy we’re talking about is COIN...
