Andrew Exum of the Center for a New American Security, one of the advisers for Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s Afghanistan strategy review, doesn’t know if Ahmed Wali Karzai is indeed a CIA asset. But he blogsthat the perception of his interlocutors on the Afghan president’s brother is rather severe:

Exum, who specifies he has no insider information, thinks this could be quite a point of friction between McChrystal’s command and the CIA.
