The United States is very worried about corruption among Afghan leaders, top military officer Admiral Mike Mullen said on Wednesday, warning President Hamid Karzai must crackdown on offenders.
"We are extremely concerned about the level of corruption and the legitimacy of this government," Mullen told reporters. "It's far too much endemic."
Newly re-elected Karzai "has got to take significant steps to eliminate corruption," the chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff warned.
"That means that you have to rid yourself of those who are corrupt, you have to actually arrest and prosecute them. You have to show those visible signs."
