"Families, relatives, friends, village and tribal elders will all know that ISAF does not pay for the work," the official added.
They stressed that such a review had been in the works for some time and was not triggered by the departure of Gen Petraeus or the subsequent question marks raised over "possibly inappropriate communications" involving the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) commander, John Allen, and Tampa socialite Jill Kelley.
The International Security Assistance Forces (Isaf) have worked extremely hard to reduce civilian casualties, introducing new rules to govern the use of force.
These are the issues on the boil as the Isaf international force alliance is about to launch its "Kandahar operation".
However, it is unclear if they fought on the side of the ISAF or simply stayed out of the fight.
Then we met the Italian army, the Isaf body responsible for security in Herat and Ghor.
His leadership has been instrumental in achieving the significant progress that Isaf, working alongside our Afghan partners, has made in bringing greater security to the Afghan people and in ensuring that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terrorists.
Kandahar 6. (C) Crosbie said we need to have a discussion in Kabul to complement work in Kandahar by the Canadians, the NATO ISAF KABUL 00000672 002 OF 003 RC-South Commander, and the Senior Civilian Representative for the South.
ISAF and the Embassy work increasingly more effectively with Afghan counterparts on improved post-incident response (to affected communities and the media), and investigations.
One of the aims of Isaf, the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, is to "facilitate improvements in governance and socio-economic development".
