According to Xinhua News Agency U.S. media reported 28, the United States Central Intelligence Agency for years to Afghan President Hamid Karzai's office "stuffed money" in order to buy senior officials, To consolidate the influence of the intelligence agency in the presidential palace. "The biggest source of corruption in Afghanistan is the United States," The New York Times reported, citing former and current advisers to Mr. Karzai, that the C.I.A. was funneling tens of millions of dollars in cash into the Afghan president's office almost every month in suitcases, school bags or plastic bags. The money was meant to "buy off" Karzai's inner circle of decision-making, but instead fostered corruption within the Afghan government, strengthened powerful warlords and undermined the U.S. government's exit strategy from Afghanistan, according to several U.S. officials.

"The biggest source of corruption in Afghanistan is the United States," said one U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. In a practice that began with the U.S. war in Afghanistan in 2001, the cash payments were not subject to rules governing public U.S. assistance to Afghanistan or the CIA's own formal assistance program, and appeared to be exempt from U.S. law.

The CIA declined to comment on the report, and the State Department has not yet responded. There was no mention of Karzai or the presidential palace's claims in the report. Khalil Roman, who served as the president's chief of staff from 2002 to 2005, told The New York Times, "We call it 'money that goes nowhere.' It comes nowhere and goes nowhere."

Karzai himself did not benefit

According to the Xinhua News Agency, Afghan officials responded that there was no evidence that Karzai himself benefited, and each money was handled by the National Security Council, most of which went to warlords and politicians.
