...Internet for guidance on how to build improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, similar to those used in Iraq. Its website shows a disparate menu of links, including ones to the European Union's army, the Financial Times and an apocalyptic theorist whose TV show has been presented on Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcast Network. The Hutaree views federal, state and local law-enforcement officers as "foot soldiers" for the federal government, or participants in the "new world order" - the perpetual bête noire of the American militia movement.

Not only is the White House frustrated over the rampant corruption in Karzai's government, whose ability to earn the support of its own people is the linchpin of the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, it is also increasingly concerned over the Afghan leader's growing coziness with Iran.
