Afghan interpreters in legal bid for UK settlement

Cameron is ducking and weaving to keep the interpreters out of the UK because his Washington mentors have told him not to take them. There would be an immediate exodus of interpreters and other NATO employees because they, more than anyone, know the game is up in Afghanistan. They are at the front line and see the disaster close-up every day. Such an exodus would give the game away and undermine the Obama/Pentagon/ISAF pretence of some kind of 'Mission Accomplished' scenario. Consequently Cameron is looking at methods of bribing them to stay. Or appear to stay. As always with American foreign policy and its hangers-on, it's what it looks like that matters.

BBC News - Afghan interpreters in legal bid for UK settlement: 
"Prime Minister David Cameron says officials are drawing up "generous" options for the Afghan interpreters.
Many of the 500 or so interpreters employed by the Ministry of Defence in Afghanistan say they have received serious threats to their lives, while some have already fled to the UK to claim asylum.
Several have told the BBC of their worries about what will happen once British troops leave."
