Hamid Karzai - Consultant for UNOCAL?

Subject: Hamid Karzai - Consultant for UNOCAL?
To: SOCIALIST-REGISTER@xxxxxxxx
I was forwarded this excerpt from an article on another listserv.
The article was published in Le Monde. It claims Hamid Karzai once
worked for the US Oil company UNOCOL. Apoligies if it has already
been posted here. Makes you wonder - coincidence?

TRANSLATION OF FOURTH PARAGRAPH FROM THE TOP
Aussi à l'aise à discuter accroupi sur un tapis que dans un salon à
Washington ou à Londres, Hamid Karzaï a une large connaissance du
monde occidental. Après Kaboul et l'Inde où il a étudié le droit, il
a parfait sa formation aux Etats-Unis où il fut un moment consultant
de l'entreprise pétrolière américaine Unocal, quand celle-ci étudiait
la construction d'un oléoduc en Afghanistan.
"...Hamid Karzai, who is as comfortable discussing sitting on a
carpet as in a Washinton or London "salon", has a profound knowledge
of the western world. After Kabul and India, where he has studied
law, he completed his learnings [apprenticeship ?] in the USA, where
he acted, for a while, as a consultant for the American oil company
Unocal, at the time it was considering building a pipeline in
Afghanistan..."
