U.S. providing work for Taliban?

Not that we should stop trying to do the right thing, but this kind of thing is what makes it hard:

Afghanistan | Corruption: "In spite of the U.S. intervention in this Taliban-ridden region, the dam project has been counterintuitively free of attack, leaving soldiers here suspicious. ADT commander Col. Brian Copes says: “The Taliban might have taken 30 or 40 percent right off the top, and now he’s struggling to perform, because he’s got less than 100 percent of budget because the Taliban took their cut right off the top.”"
