What troubles me is that by many accounts, the Bush Administration was preparing to write a $43 million check to the Taliban in May, 2001. for whatever reason, they did not.
My understanding is that the check was to secure permission for the oil/gas pipeline to cross Afghanistan.
About that time. John Walker Lindh joined forces that supported the Taliban. Yet he was somehow a 'traitor' joining a group that was friendly to the US. And the Bush Administration has never taken any real heat from the mainstream press for being chummy with the Taliban while they were known to be sheltering OBL.
