Kerry Makes Surprise Visit to Afghanistan 
------------------------------------------


 
John Kerry's visit to Afghanistan appeared aimed at easing public
tensions following allegations of abuses by U.S. special forces in
Wardak province and President Karzai's widely reported suggestion the
U.S. is colluding with the Taliban. President Karzai said Monday his
words had been misinterpreted.

President Karzai: "Now, the media took that to say that I said there is
a collusion. I never used the word 'collusion' between the Taliban and
the U.S., and those were not my words. Those were the [words] picked up
by the media."
