Karzai and Diem

Justin Raimondo compares Karzai to Diem: both are not really liked by the US, which is trying to get rid of Karzai as it did for Diem in Vietnam in the 1960s. That's why there was a leak in the NYT outing Karzai's brother as a CIA asset in order to discredit him in the upcoming elections on November 7.

Another good article about the parallels says that:
"The New York Times article [on Ahmed Karzai], based on statements of "American officials" indicates only one thing: that the White House has clearly decided to confront the CIA, and Karzai, over Afghan policy, undermining both in one quick news attack."
