Diplomatic response Foolish filibuster Officer accountability

摘要

To afghanistan president hamid karzai for his surprisingly cool-headed and pragmatic response to WikiLeaks' embarrassing diplomatic cable disclosures. Among the secret cables made public were less-than-complimentary comments about Karzai by U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry. To huge American relief, Karzai swiftly dismissed the disclosures as "beneath his interest" and later added that people sometimes say things casually in private that do not reflect their more considered views.
