Terrorists have rights dammit...............complete and utter insanity. Of course this isn't as bad as the evil Halliburton I'm sure in the eyes of the left.

“I am deeply troubled that the U.S. military can pursue, attack, and even kill terrorists and their supporters, but that some in the U.S. government believe we cannot prevent these same people from receiving a government contract,” Sopko said."
It's hard to keep up with who is our ally and who is our enemy over there.
I think our welcome in Afghanistan expired about 8 years ago. We should have been outta there before the end of 2005. In all the years since, nothing substantial has been achieved.
