This is the calendar of events per the NYT article. What is missing is arguably the most important date in this matter - 2003 US forces relinquish the lead of the war in Afghanistan to NATO forces. US focus instead on IRAQ. NATO forces are hamstrung in that our "allies" do not want to leave the security of the bases, allowing the Taliban resurgence.

I agree that it turned the war badly and was the most serious error made.
I will take a minute to re type a last paragraph that I deleted from my first post on this subject because I thought it added nothing important.
The Headline that was in several newspapers including the Washington Post yesterday about Pakistan aiding the insurgents was in my opinion just a headline to get people to read an article that had little news in it. In other words several news agencies tried to INFLATE the value of the leaked documents in order to make them appear newsworthy.
