From Informed Comment:
1:07 AM (1 minute ago)Levin: US paying Insurgents to Attack USfrom Informed Comment by Juan
Sen. Carl Levin of the Senate Armed Services Committee announced a report on Thursday on the way the private security contractors hired by the US military (even to guard bases!) are subject to little oversight, are corrupt, and sometimes pass on money or resources to what are essentially Taliban.
That is, the US may be indirectly hiring the Taliban to hit US bases.
At the same time, the some 3000 Afghans serving in the private CIA army in AFghanistan have been accused of carrying out among the worst attacks in that country.
Erica Gaston of the Open Society Foundation reports on her experiences in Afghanistan, and especially on the finding of Open Society Institute social scientists that ordinary Aghans blame US and NATO military actions as much or more than they blame Washington, DC.
