C.I.A Funds Karzai Corruption Why be clandestine? Our C.I.A.'s funding Hamid Karzai's corruption. Is that where we want our tax dollars to go? Are we OK with their contractor spies? With Blackwater?

Who knows what's being lost? Not just to Dubai and Swiss bank accounts Which have long been a problem with Karzai et al. Though Visa and Mastercard usually can handle it, Look what it's doing to little PayPal. Disgruntled generals, who do know the language, Might welcome a chance to pretend they are spies, And work at Langley as well-fed controllers To boost its consumption of Mrs. Smith's pies.
