While the British spies say they forked over just a fraction of what their American counterparts did, the new information proves that this quasi-bribery scheme was hardly an isolated incident. In fact, it sounds like it was a big part of the allies’ operation in Afghanistan. The leader called the CIA and MI6 contributions an ‘easy source of petty cash’ for dealing with the Taliban.”
