Fired UN Official Peter Galbraith Accuses the United Nations of Helping Cover Up Electoral Fraud Committed by Afghan President Hamid Karzai


Democracy Now!
With Amy Goodman

"....
AMY GOODMAN: In an op-ed published in the Washington Post Sunday, Peter Galbraith describes the Afghan elections as a, quote, “foreseeable train wreck” and says Kai Eide ordered him not to pursue the issue of fraud, fraud that he says has, quote, “handed the Taliban its greatest strategic victory in eight years of fighting the United States and its Afghan partners.”

We go now to Bergen, Norway, and we’re joined by Ambassador Peter Galbraith there.

Peter Galbraith, welcome to Democracy Now! Can you explain why you believe you were fired?.........."
