| "Dark" to the NYT possibly. [NYT] KABUL, Afghanistan -- Ashraf Ghani, the apparent front-runner in the Afghan presidential race this year, was once unstinting in his opinion of one of the country's most prominent warlords, Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum, calling him a "known killer." He said that in 2009, when General Dostum was supporting President Hamid Karzai for re-election. Now, Mr. Ghani simply calls General Dostum his running mate. It will be interesting to see how Champ gets on with Ghani and Dostum. |
