This report states US and NATO forces should resist the demand by the Loya Jirga in Kabul to stop night raids. This is because it argues that it is the Taliban, though its political influence, that is putting pressure on the Afghan district and provincial leaders to call for the end of the raids. The author also says that the West must not fall for an appeal to cultural or social sensitivities: specifically, that the act of strangers entering a home and seeing women living inside is considered a grave offense.
