Karzai doesn't trust the militants to live up to their part of the bargain...
...Congressional aide James F. Flug ’60, grassroots political organizer Karen Hicks, youth service corps leader Alan A. Khazei ’83, Republican communications strategist Christina Martin, and Ambassador George E. Moose. Each fellow will lead a study group open to the entire Harvard community. The Pakistani-born Falkner, who gained British citizenship in 1983, is a member of the “front bench,” or party leadership team, of the Liberal Democrats in the United Kingdom. Appointed to the House of Lords in 2004, she is one of a half-dozen Muslims?...
