At least in 2005-2006 they did, and they were reported and discussed monthly. My buddies that went back in 2007-2008 were using the same process, with similar metrics, so I assume they are still being used.

The issue is that the Afghans DON"T want democracy, at least not what we consider democracy. They want to live in peace in their little valleys like it is the 1300s- which is FINE. I could give a #### less what they do to themselves in East Bum####istan. I do care when the shelter murderous scumbags that get people to fly planes into buildings. When they do that, we go kill the bad guys, and those that support/shelter/aid them. The ones that don't can go back to living in the 1300s, for all I care.
