[Pen-l] Afghanistan

[Jim Devine <jdevine03@xxxxxxxxx>]

from SLATE's news summary:
>The NY [TIMES] fronts word that Zamay Khalilzad, the former ambassador to Afghanistan, might soon take up a powerful position inside the Afghan government. Khalilzad has been in discussions with Hamid Karzai to take on a government position that would essentially be the chief executive officer of Afghanistan. There has been lots of talk that Khalilzad might run for president, but he missed the filing deadline. The move would benefit Karzai, not only because it would help get a potential rival on his side but also because Khalilzad is widely respected in the United States and his appointment would come at a time when the administration has made it obvious that it is growing tired of Karzai. But officials insist the administration had nothing to do with the arrangement.<

shouldn't it be "viceroy" rather than CEO?
