Robert Greenwald, director of Rethink Afghanistan, visits The Ed Show to discuss how The Nation‘s groundbreaking cover story, How the US Funds the Taliban by Aram Roston, has unveiled an unfortunate and shocking truth about the corrupt war in Afghanistan. In what Ed Schultz describes as “outstanding reporting,” Roston outlines how the US government is funding terrorists in Afghanistan, as some US tax dollars are being used to pay off Taliban warlords in order to keep US convoys safe.
