US suborns Afghan corruption

Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s brother is on the CIA payroll. Ahmed Wali Karzai is also believed to be a major player in Afghan opium smuggling.
“If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck,” the American officer said of Mr. Karzai. “Our assumption is that he’s benefiting from the drug trade.”

And, given the part of Afghanistan in which he’s most active, he’s probably connected with the Taliban, too.
