Karzai acknowledges CIA payments

[WAPO] 4 May 2013, KABUL — Afghan President Hamid Karzai acknowledged Saturday that he has frequently received money from the CIA and that he had been promised the agency would continue making such payments.

At a news conference, Karzai said the payments amounted to “a government institution helping another government institution, and we appreciate all this assistance and help.”

He said the money has been used to fund Afghanistan’s intelligence agency over the past decade, but he did not disclose how much he had received.

Karzai said he received the money in the form of cash, meaning the contribution would not be considered part of any formal contribution of aid and would not likely be subject to congressional oversight.

#7 karzai has probably been paying bribes to the Taliban for years in return for non targeting

I doubt, however, if he has ISIS on his payroll
