Taliban for Governor?

I read something that really surprised me, in today's Washington Post. The article said that just as Karzai's government is the legitimate one, there is a 'shadow' government run by the Taliban. While its primary goal is the removal of Karzai's, one of the characteristics of the guy running it is that he will immediately dismiss anyone in his organization who has even a whiff of corruption.

Wow.

Oh, I know that there's lots of good reasons to be opposed to them. But the idea that *anyone* is fiercely against corruption in that area amazes me.
