#1 My local newspaper this morning indicated that the Afghan "military person" was killed by Afghani soldiers after he opened fire on the US vehicle.

The Afghan Army needs some serious work. If I were Karzai, I'd try to mobilize a "national militia" of locals to protect their small patch of Afghanistan. Of course, that requires that the population be loyal to the central government - something not quite perfect in Afghanistan.
