The Aiken Standard traces its origins to 1867 with publisher Rhonda Overbey and executive editor John Boyette guiding the newsroom. Holly Kemp serves as news editor, steering local reporting and coverage.
The guest editorial questions Attorney General Alan Wilson about pursuing legal challenges to mask mandates in schools and other government actions. It argues for enforcing state law while noting potential lawsuits could curb local and state government overreach, including annexations and FOIA violations.
Marc Thiessen argues the Biden administration chose not to secure Kabul, allowing the Taliban to take control and leaving Americans, Afghan allies, and interpreters exposed. He cites The Washington Post reporting on a Taliban offer to assume security and questions whether McKenzie and Biden refused additional troops. He calls the decision a national disgrace and outlines the resulting casualties.
A reader praises American troops evacuating U.S. citizens and Afghan SIV holders while condemning the administration and senior military leaders for alleged ineptitude. He calls for accountability, resignations, and potential protests from officers if leaders do not act on better recommendations. Ken Gray, Aiken.
