| Entrepreneurial Justice In Afghanistan |

| A major problem in Afghanistan is the failure of the Afghan justice system, and Afghan insistence that foreign troops use it anyway. Currently, only about ten percent of Islamic terror suspects captured by foreign troops are prosecuted, and only half of those are convicted. Those arrested who can afford to bribe their way out, or have someone who can intimidate the right people, never get convicted. When dealing with Afghan police and troops, the terrorists can often arrange a bribe, and freedom, on the spot. |

| #1 This works both ways. If the judge is corrupt, pay him more than the bad guys can pay. All they can offer is likely Afghan or Pakistani money, which is worth only a fraction of USD (at least for now). So slip the judge a $20, and watch him hang bad guys like there is no tomorrow. It's called "justice". |
