Karzai is getting to be in a difficult position. his government is so corrupt and above the rule of law that in many areas the taleban are welcomed. So he has to do stuff like this when it becomes blatant, but he really needs to get rid of nearly all of them to stand a chance of turning the tide of disenchantment rom the afghani people. But he can't do that cos his coalition is weak.

Yet another policy failure due to political stupidity.

And OTOH, when was the last time the Merkins or Brits sacked anyone for murdering civilians?

They try to retrict their murdering to foreigners, preferably those with dusky skins who are easily designated as an unknowable dehumanised enemy.

Karzai's crew eat their own.
