Wikileaks: Texas Company Helped Pimp Little Boys To Stoned Afghan Cops

Another international conflict, another horrific taxpayer-funded sex scandal for DynCorp, the private security contractor tasked with training the Afghan police.

The Afghanistan cable (dated June 24, 2009) discusses a meeting between Afghan Interior Minister Hanif Atmar and US assistant ambassador Joseph Mussomeli. Prime among Atmar's concerns was a party partially thrown by DynCorp for Afghan police recruits in Kunduz Province.

For those that can't or won't click the link, bacha bazi is a pre-Islamic Afghan tradition that was banned by the Taliban. 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." (While it may be culturally accepted, it violates both Sharia law and Afghan civil code.)

Your tax dollars at work.

1. And I am SURE, SURE DynCorp will change their name and

no one in our govt will punish them or bring charges against them for child slavery. I swear, sometimes I think the bad guys are allowed to win on purpose.

[Matilda]

3. But the evildoers at Wikileaks will be punished.

It's a peculiar morality that rules.

[Downwinder]

4. Shouldn't they be listed on the sex offender list?

[No Elephants]

2. Why do we have a right to know about stuff like this? Frickin', evil neocons!

5. Americans cut off penis foreskin tips...

Yay, cultures! We're all insane!

7. Weird, particularly for such an oppressive paternalistic culture.

I guess they keep the women locked up and secreted away to keep them from interfering with the pederastic gay sex parties? WTF!

8. Naw! Get out of here! NYT said Wikileaks was just a bunch of low level gossip

about Sarkozy's hair and Putin's tie.

My disgust knows no depths right now.

9. Heartbreaking. Our troops are there dying while this shit goes on?

I don't know how to respond because the story rips my heart out.
