And if that doesn’t get you to read my took-my-whole-day story for Danger Room about the Afghans who guard U.S. military bases for private security companies, I don’t know what will. Don’t miss my friend Paul McLeary’s write-up of the same thing — we’re all going off a Senate investigation here — for Ares. And for a kinda-sorta-related story that I just want to flag, check out Daniel Schulman’s new piece about Ahmed Wali Karzai’s permission slip from the DEA.

And now we must watch Game 2 of the ALDS.
