In perhaps the least diplomatic statement made thus far in 2010, a former UN representative to Afghanistan said that President Hamid Karzai is mentally unstable and enjoys opium.The Guardian reports Peter Galbraith as saying the following on MSNBC:
"He's prone to tirades, he can be very emotional, act impulsively. In fact some of the palace insiders say that he has a certain fondness for some of Afghanistan's most profitable exports."
When asked whether he was saying Karzai had a substance abuse problem, Galbraith said there were "reports to that effect".
