Fantasy-based policymaking aids and abets those who will to destroy us. "Wikileaks: British aid budget funded key aide to al-Qaeda," by Holly Watt in the Telegraph, April 25 (thanks to Alan of England): An Afghan politician identified as a key aide to al-Qaeda terrorists was funded by the British aid budget, according to documents released by WikiLeaks. Mullan Haji Rohullah, who was subsequently transported to Guantánamo, was paid more than £300,000 of British taxpayers’ money to eradicate his poppy crops. But he instead allegedly supported al-Qaeda and helped terrorists escape allied forces — while continuing to act as a major drugs trafficker.
