I met Minister Saleh, who is the minister responsible for the NDS, and when he came to see me--and this was at Masum Gar, out on a forward operating base--and we discussed how to sort out Bazar-e Panjwai and Panjwai, I didn't get the impression that I was talking to a weak minister who didn't have a grip on his ministry.
