The recruitment process for Iraq's Counter Terrorism Service has been compromised, allowing members of designated terrorist groups to receive U.S. training and equipment. This contradictory policy has persisted across multiple administrations, highlighting a need for a coherent strategy to address the roots of Islamic terrorism.
