In a scathing passage of his latest report to Congress, Special Inspector General John Sopko said his office has urged the Army to suspend or debar 43 contractors over concerns about ties to the Afghanistan insurgency, "including supporters of the Taliban, the Haqqani network and al Qaeda."

Sopko wrote that the Army "rejected" every single case.

Our soldiers can fight Al-Qaeda, but our country can't suspend contracts with Al-Qaeda? With this and supporting the rebels in Syria, it seems our country is getting more and more friendly with Al-Qaeda even as our soldiers are still deployed overseas fighting them. If our government wants to be that friendly with them, why not just bring our troops home?
