Thousands of Afghans, including many who worked with British forces, have been secretly resettled in the U.K. after a leak of data on their identities raised fears that they could be targeted by the Taliban, the British government revealed Tuesday.
The government now plans to close the route, which the media had been barred by a court order from disclosing.
The then-Conservative government sought a court order barring disclosure of the leak, in an attempt to prevent the personal information being made public. The High Court issued a strict order known as a super injunction that barred anyone from revealing its existence. The government then set up a secret new program to resettle the Afghans.
The injunction was lifted on Tuesday in conjunction with a decision by Britain’s current Labour Party government to make the program public. It said an independent review had found little evidence that the leaked data would expose Afghans to a greater risk of retribution from the country’s Taliban rulers.
About 4,500 Afghans – 900 applicants and approximately 3,600 family members — have been brought to Britain under the secret program, and about 6,900 people are expected to be relocated by the time it closes, at a total cost of 850 million pounds ($1.1 billion).
About 36,000 more Afghans have been relocated to the U.K. under other resettlement routes.

Oh god THAT was him????!!!
Anyway…Michael Yon talks about Afghans. he was there fighting and later as a correspondent. He says they are good people ..in SOME ways. Great farmers, great warriors, good to talk to.
That’s where the Bushbots and Dems turn their brains off. He also says not in a 1000 years should they be brought to the USA. they have NO concept of the nation state, all about clan allegiance. They literally try to kill people from the next town 10 miles away and across a mountain (yet the clans oddly come together to fight invaders). They believe in the Koran exclusively, honor killings , child brides, boy (as in small child boys) toys…all that stuff repugnant to a Western mind.
Clean skins to do the wet work for British Intel agencies.
Within the vernacular of counter-terrorism agents and police officers, a cleanskin is an undercover operative whose identity is not known to the forces he or she is tasked to infiltrate. This is usually because such an agent has not conducted any prior undercover activity.
The phrase entered wide currency with a slightly different meaning in the United Kingdom following the London bombings of 7 July 2005. The four bombers involved in those bombings were reported in the press to be "cleanskins", according to police sources, meaning that their profiles did not fit the expected profile of bombers.
Terrorist organizations, smugglers, and others performing secretive activities prefer to subvert cleanskins as there is less chance that they will arouse suspicion. For example, a person with previous convictions for importing drugs is more likely to be detained than a person never convicted.
The Brits bring in a new crop about every ten years. They carefully manage them with very little trails leading to their purpose. They typically recruit the worst of the worst as to not arouse suspicion. Islami-Boyz, doing the work proper Brits won't do.
