Why I go to church - in just 45 words

And why I wear pantyhose when I go:

God does not need me to pray five times a day. This is for my benefit. I am better if I pray like this. I am better if I wash before I pray, because I am clean. It is good for me, not for God.

Hamid - quoted on A*W*A*C

I found A*W*A*C - Afghanistan Without a Clue - though a Google alert for "Leta" (other returns usually include the Law Enforcement Thermographers Association and an eastern European new agency). Another Leta is a "long-time reader, comment poster, and supporter of the troops" and A*W*A*C, which is blogged by Capt. Doug Traversa (USAF) who is stationed in Kabul. Hamid is one of the translators attached to his group.
