Given our history of covert operations, training and arming Afghani's don't you think it's just a little bit possible that some of that aid is finding it's way to the Taliban? I think to believe anything less is just a bit naieve.

And exactly WHAT would the Taliban do with wheat? You keep implying that there is money being exchanged in this transaction, when there isn't.

Also, your first post trashed the administration for GIVING $43 million to the Taliban. That is completely false.

Tom, not all of it is wheat (as I already told you).
I'm not really being fair here. I should tell you that I work for an 'NGO' in Washington that occasionally distributes 'foreign aid'. I truly don't mean to sound condescending but, trust me, it isn't always as it's reported via CNN, the State Department and other [liberal or conservative] sources.
While I have no particular knowledge in this instance I have enough personal experience in the area to believe my Grandfather's admonishon to "don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see".
