Literally sleeping with the enemy--while stoned.

LA Times on the fabulous Afghan Army that is supposed to start taking things over for us in 18 months.
In Kandahar...Mayor Ghulam Haider Hamidi said he was outraged recently to find out that some police were allowing Taliban fighters to sleep in their barracks. Here, officials say they gave police recruits drug tests. They excluded anyone who tested positive for opiates, but acknowledge that they were lenient about hashish and marijuana -- lest the district be unable to meet even minimal recruitment goals.
Lovely.

Aw, cut 'em some slack. If you were in the Afghan police force or the army, you'd do anything to obliterate your consciousness of the shit job you have to perform. Besides, if our cops were a little more high, maybe they'd stop beating up people for driving while black.

Seriously, more dope-smoking cops would be a major improvement.
