Is 3rd party the correct term to use here? I am unsure. Tp271 (talk) 16:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

message: After adding the external link and re-reading the article, I realized that benchmarks 6, 7 and 8 of Canada's Priority 1 Training [...], bolster the credibility of the corruption section.  I would like to add the following to the Corruption Within the ANP section of the article.
[...]  Canada, currently deployed in the Kandahar Province, evidences this trend through three of its benchmarks (See External Links).  Benchmark 6 discusses a training program in order to improve the ANP's operational capacity.  Benchmark 7 discusses the building of prisons in order to support the police work.  Benchmark 8 highlights the absence of any functioning judiciary.  Without a functioning justice system, a police force is not capable of maintaining law & order, thus ensuring the safety of civilians.  These benchmarks evidence the infancy of the Afghan justice system.
If there aren't any objections, or suggestions, or comments, I will go ahead and add it in a couple of days.  This should ensure a proper reaction time to people watching this article. Soldier.pitre (talk) 02:36, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This edit, by  really concerns me.  The edit summary "bias", was inadequate.  
In my opinion a meaningful and substantive explanation was absolutely required for the removal of the following passage:
:
:"Police officers in Afghanistan are largely illiterate, approximately 17 percent of them tested positive for illegal drugs in 2010, and they were widely accused of demanding bribes. Attempts to build a credible Afghan police force were faltering badly, according to NATO officials, making it difficult to build a capable national force. A quarter of the officers quit every year, making the Afghan government's goals of substantially building up the police force even harder to achieve."
  
So I am restoring that paragraph.
Maybe someone can argue for it being placed lower in the article, or rewritten.  Maybe someone can offer a  meaningful and substantive explanation as to why this material didn't belong in the article.  Until then I believe it should be restored.  Geo Swan (talk) 15:13, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: That bold statement in the intro is attacking the entire police force of Afghanistan. It's like stating that police officers in the United States are largely anti-black people. Are you not aware that illiteracy and drug use is a common problem in so many countries. Smoking hashish in Afghanistan is the equivalent of Canadians drinking alcohol. Also, are you not aware that Afghan police force has improved since 2010 and are getting better by the year. Don't expect Afghan police to be the equivalent of Canadian police. If you want to attack Afghan police, create a section at the bottom and express all your frustration there. Wikipedia should not be used to attack a specific group.--Jawalpopal (talk) 22:32, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
