Army vet GOP rep blasts Biden administration for limiting access to Afghanistan dissent cable

An Army vet GOP lawmaker is demanding transparency from the State Department, who has attempted to limit access to a dissent cable about the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Mills' comments come as controversy over access to dissent cables that were sent to the State Department from Kabul continues to grow, with GOP members of the committee demanding that all members be allowed to view what they argue could shed light on what went wrong in the final days of America's war in Afghanistan.

The dissent cable, which was sent in July 2021 and reported on by the Wall Street Journal a month later, reportedly warned top State Department officials of the possibility that Kabul would fall to the Taliban as U.S.troops left the country. The cable was sent via a dissent channel, which allows State Department officials the opportunity to express concerns to leadership.
