From The Cable/Foreign Policy:
Lawmakers are actively but secretively trying to get to the bottom of the CIA's relationship with Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, in light of the stunning New York Times article which cited unnamed sources stating he has been on the CIA's payroll for years while simultaneously facilitating massive drug trade in his region.
CIA Director Leon Panetta met with several Senators on both sides of the aisle Thursday behind closed doors and Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman John Kerry, D-MA, has submitted a formal request for information detailing the Agency's relationship with Karzai the brother.
My Comment: As I had said yesterday, I call this laying the groundwork to get rid of and/or undermine President Karzai 2 weeks before the Afghan Presidential election. This stunt is so transparent and predictable, that I am surprise to find no one in the media discussing the timing or purpose for such a leak to be publicized now.
My prediction .... I expect more "shocking" and "disturbing" evidence to be found by next week.
