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 [accidentally on purpose]. 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?
