US Quietly Slips Funds Into Military Bill to Pay Off Taliban $1.3 billion

$1.3 Billion Authorized for "Re-Integration" Program

The $680 billion US military funding bill that passed late last week saw its share of controversy over pet projects, attempts to block the Guantanamo Bay closure, and new curbs on aid to Pakistan.

Less talked about however was the $1.3 billion clause quietly slipped into the bill to support the “re-integration into Afghan society” of those Taliban which renounce violence.
