At a meeting in Kandahar to discuss the unwanted effects of NATO contracts, General McChrystal was informed that 570 of them, worth millions of dollars, had been issued from NATO's airbase in Kandahar, and nobody was quite sure to whom. The general consoled his aides: “We were in a hurry, we were ignorant, we created a business environment, and now it's come back to hurt us.” Yet it seems improbable that NATO, now in more of a hurry than ever, can fix this mess. Private security companies now play a big role in this war. They are estimated to employ around 50,000 gunmen. In Kandahar there are 23 unregistered security companies, not including militias working with American special-forces soldiers and the CIA. In the short term—on which NATO is being judged—cutting off the cash to these mobs would lead to yet more insecurity.
