#1 My understanding is that after the Northern Alliance took over, those two guys got their militias declared to be independent Corps in the Afghan Army. After suitable ~~bribes~~ diplomacy, they've agreed to shut down operations and allow a new Army Corps to be organized in the regions they control.

We'll have to wait and see, but if it happens, then we're talking serious progress.

#6 This quote:

Karzai sent Interior Minister Ali Ahmad Jalali and enlisted the help of British peacekeepers and the United Nations to bring the warlords into line.

Is translated into:

... giving the fledgling U.S.-backed government of President Hamid Karzai a small victory.

for a news article in the Washington Post. Is anyone surprised?
