About Joan Mower

Without a doubt Maiwandi works for the CIA. She does everything against VOA standards from hiring uneducated unexperienced individules to family members and husbands and wives .

As for Joan Mower who is fooled by Maiwandi, I know her she is a confused unaware American with zero basic knowledge of the region and politics and can not differentiate between Afghanistan and Pakistan let alone analysis and debate such issues.

Maiwandi simply lured her with words, gifts and few tears and thats about it. Dan Austin has to do something about her or she will keep on hiring and appointing and incorporating her instruments in south asia division before she depart.
