US grumbles over Afghanistan cabinet reshuffle

---

WASHINGTON, Dec 23 (AFP): The United States reacted cautiously on Tuesday to Afghan President Hamid Karzai's newly selected cabinet, saying it would only work with ministers who worked efficiently and without corruption.
"We like many of the choices that he's made. We have concerns about some of the choices that he's made," said State Department spokesman Philip Crowley of Karzai's new government.
"And we will continue our process of certifying very specific ministries and channeling our assistance through those ministries that we think are being run well and address the concerns that we have for performance and corruption."
