The United States Government hired DynCorp, a private “security contractor” to train the Afghan Police. That training requires DynCorp to show these local Afghan cops how to shoot guns, investigate crime, and how to fuck little boys up the ass.
Wha??????
One of the cables released by Wikileaks reveals that the U.S. Ambassador met with the Afghan Interior Minister to discuss a “boy party” thrown by DynCorp for Afghan recruits. (source) (source)
Bacha boys are eight- to 15-years-old. They put on make-up, tie bells to their feet and slip into scanty women’s clothing, and then, to the whine of a harmonium and wailing vocals, they dance seductively to smoky roomfuls of leering older men.
After the show is over, their services are auctioned off to the highest bidder, who will sometimes purchase a boy outright. And by services, we mean anal sex: The State Department has called bacha bazi a “widespread, culturally accepted form of male rape.” (source)
Frontline has a full expose on the “bacha bazi” thing here.
Now remember, when you hear Mike Huckabee and Joe Lieberman call for Julian Assange’s death or the imprisonment of the editors of the New York Times, this is the kind of “national security secret” that Mr. Assange released. As the cable excerpt shows, below, the concern here was not that Afghanistan is rife with filthy old men who like to ass-bang little boys, but that word about it might get out.
Our taxpayer dollars supply 90% of DynCorp’s revenue. DynCorp put together the “boy party” to try and recruit cops. Then, our tax dollars paid for our Ambassador to work on the cover-up.
Atmar said he insisted the journalist be told that publication would endanger lives. His request was that the U.S. quash the article and release of the video. Amb Mussomeli responded that going to the journalist would give her the sense that there is a more terrible story to report. Atmar then disclosed the arrest of two Afghan National Police (ANP) and nine other Afghans (including RTC language assistants) as part of an MoI investigation into Afghan “facilitators” of the event. The crime he was pursuing was “purchasing a service from a child,” which in Afghanistan is illegal under both Sharia law and the civil code, and against the ANP Code of Conduct for police officers who might be involved. He said he would use the civil code and that, in this case, the institution of the ANP will be protected, but he worried about the image of foreign mentors. Atmar said that President Karzai had told him that his (Atmar’s) “prestige” was in play in management of the Kunduz DynCorp matter and another recent event in which Blackwater contractors mistakenly killed several Afghan citizens. The President had asked him “Where is the justice?” (source)
I wonder if this is what Rev. Wright was thinking about when he yelled “God Damn America.” I guess if that was the case, he’d have said “God DAAAYUM America!”
