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?
