Crisis in Kabul: Security at U.S. Embassy in disarray

Crisis in Kabul: Security at U.S. Embassy in disarray, diplomats at risk - Washington Times: 
The problems with security planning and resources aren’t the only red flags for the safety of American diplomats in Afghanistan.
A separate report this summer from the office of the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction found that U.S. civilian and military personnel face increased security risks because officials at the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development don’t have “express authority to terminate or default contracts” with known Afghan contractors connected to enemy forces. Only the Defense Department has the authority, the report found.
