A false accusation was spread about the non-profit organisation I work for. The subject is serious, but nothing else about the claim is.

Many in US military circles beg to continue fighting Taliban... forever. But US president wants to leave Afghanistan.
That& #39;s all.
There is no secretive pro-Taliban PR campaign.
It would be no use. Lots of Americans equate "Taliban" w/ "terrorist."

Conflict resolution organisations study and talk to all sides of a conflict.
This dialogue and analysis is vital to providing a realistic, *public* picture of what it takes to reach peace.
For Afghanistan today, that includes being clear about the US& #39; position.
