Times Reporter Allowed to Return to Afghanistan

A New York Times reporter, Matthew Rosenberg, was expelled from Afghanistan this past summer because of some news that he reported that was unfavorable to Afghanistan. The new president, Ashraf Ghani, has reversed the decision and he is now allowed back in Afghanistan. President Ghani has certainly broke away from the former President Karzai in his actions and decisions. Within his first week he has signed the Bilateral Security Agreement (Karzai refused to sign), re-opened the Kabul Bank fraud investigation (one of Karzai's brothers was granted immunity by the former president), visited the Afghan National Army Special Operations Command (Karzai did not like the spec ops guys), and has come out strongly against corruption (Karzai, of course, was the biggest crook in Afghan history).
