Foreign contractors hired Afghan 'dancing boys', WikiLeaks cable reveals

www.guardian.co.uk

A scandal involving foreign contractors employed to train Afghan policemen who took drugs and paid for young "dancing boys" to entertain them in northern Afghanistan caused such panic that the interior minister begged the US embassy to try and "quash" the story, according to one of the US embassy cables released by WikiLeaks.

In a meeting with the assistant US ambassador, a panicked Hanif Atmar, the interior minister at the time of the episode last June, warned that the story would "endanger lives" and was particularly concerned that a video of the incident might be made public.

The episode helped to fuel Afghan demands that contractors and private security companies be brought under much tighter government control. However, the US embassy was legally incapable of honouring a request by Atmar that the US military should assume authority over training centres managed by DynCorp, the US company whose employees were involved in the incident in the northern province of Kunduz.

Those who are not familiar with the "dancing boys of Afghanistan" here's a link - www.pbs.org...

What the hell? Why didn't the US embassy pull the plug on this bunch of pedophiles? For the village people in Afghanistan these foreign contractors reflect the face of US army/ NATO. They don't understand the difference between contractors and armies. Why no action was taken against these pedophile contractors by the US Govt? The article only lists the action against Afghanis:

Two Afghan policemen and nine other Afghans were arrested as part of investigations into a crime described by Atmar as "purchasing a service from a child", which the cable said was against both sharia law and the civil code.

Are the govt. so dependent on contractors that now pedophiles are being asked to render their service on this "War on Terror"?

Durrr...? Women or children should make no difference when it happens against their will. Prime example of hypocracy and the 'hollywood' way to treat females. Ignorance, you are steeped in it.

Of course the Mass Media keeps this quiet...of course...
