What did the USA learn funding Massoud, and allowing the ISI to fund Islamists on its own?

NOTHING.
The Long War Journal:

Report: American-supplied arms fell into al Qaeda’s hands

Buried in an interesting account by The Wall Street Journal is this nugget of information (emphasis added):
The Supreme Military Council, led by Gen. Idriss, has been the focus of U.S. efforts to bring a command-and-control structure to rebels—but has now lost to the Islamist extremists most of its ability to operate in some parts of the north.
ISIS fighters recently raided a council arms depot filled with lights [sic] weapons and ammunition, funded by the Gulf states and funneled to the council with the guidance of the Central Intelligence Agency, council members said.
The ISIS is, of course, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, one of two al Qaeda affiliates fighting in Syria. The other is the Al Nusrah Front, which continues to fight alongside its ISIL brethren despite a dispute between the two affiliates’ emirs.
When we think we are paranoid, imagining the Obama admin covering up Benghazi because we were doing a CONTRA like baloney pie funneling Libyan arms to Syrian rebels, we are OUT OF OUR MINDS.
We are sending arms there IN THE OPEN.
No one cares in the American govt.
American policy is OUT OF THE CONTROL OF THE PEOPLE
