Afghan Polls to Delay Close

Afghan authorities have decided to keep the polls open for an extra hour to allow more people to vote during the nation’s second presidential election since the fall of the Taliban. Militants have launched minor attacks across the country in an attempt to disrupt the election. For an update from the scene in Kandahar, we talk to Sarah Chayes, special advisor to Gen. Stanley McChrystal. (McChrystal is currently running the U.S. military operation in Afghanistan.) We are also joined by long-time journalist Charlie Sennott who is the executive editor of GlobalPost. Charlie’s extensive reporting on the Taliban has just been released in a special report: Life, Death, and the Taliban.
