Eikenberry, center, after stepping off Air Force One during an unannounced visit to Bagram Air Fieldin Afghanistan. U.S. officials pressured Afghan President Hamid Karzai to remove a former warlord from the helm of Afghanistan's energy and water ministry a year ago because of his corruption and ineffectiveness, threatening that aid might end unless he went. But the Afghan president rebuffed America, according to secret diplomatic records, leaving the minister _ privately termed "the worst" by U.S. officials _ still atop an agency that controls $2 billion in U.S. and allied projects.(AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File)
