Article is extremely one sided - numerous allegations of Daud's involvement in the drug trade are available but not mentioned, cited, or discussed. For example - http://v1.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20090321.AFGHANDRUGS21/TPStory/Afghanistan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.175.141 ( talk) 03:51, 24 November 2009 (UTC) reply

I have researched General Daud thoroughly. There is one allegation that he has offered protection to a drug dealer. The claim was that a drug lord had a letter from Daud with him giving him free roam. I do not disagree that the allegation exists. But without something more substantial than an allegation, I think its borderline slanderous. General Daud is still a speaker at UN anti-drug conferences, still holds his job with the Afghan government, still works with US drug forces, etc. The allegation has never been proven that I can find. If there is evidence that it was proven please let me know so I can add a section Jball65 ( talk) 04:44, 24 November 2009 (UTC) reply
