3. well, sex trafficking children is only disgusting and criminal when ordinary folks do it
When its government-sponsored and funded then its, um, junior year abroad and Christian vocational education for youth.

Assange, on the other hand, is an evil, treasonous, condom-breaking pervert who doesn't call dates back when he says he will. So he should spend life in prison or be executed. :sarcasm: for the sarcasm-challenged.

7. A practice banned by the Taliban but brought back by the USA.
Obviously, they (the Taliban) hate us for our freedoms.

10. For those that can't or won't click the link this pre-Islamic practice was banned by the Taliban
Edited on Wed Dec-08-10 07:08 PM by NNN0LHI
From the link:

>>>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.<<<

DynCorp whistleblower revealed alleged sex-slave trade among fellow Americans in Bosnia

DynCorp whistleblower revealed alleged sex-slave trade among fellow Americans in Bosnia

By David Neiwert

Halliburton and Blackwater, apparently, were just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to American corporate corruption overseas -- the kind aided and abetted by the U.S. government.

Now there's this case involving DynCorp, as reported by CorpWatch:

Middle-aged men having sex with 12- to 15-year-olds was too much for Ben Johnston, a hulking 6-foot-5-inch Texan, and more than a year ago he blew the whistle on his employer, DynCorp, a U.S. contracting company doing business in Bosnia.

According to the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) lawsuit filed in Texas on behalf of the former DynCorp aircraft mechanic, "in the latter part of 1999 Johnston learned that employees and supervisors from DynCorp were engaging in perverse, illegal and inhumane behavior were purchasing illegal weapons, women, forged passports and
Rather than acknowledge and reward Johnston's effort to get this behavior stopped, DynCorp fired him, forcing him into protective custody by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) until the investigators could get him safely out of Kosovo and returned to the United States.

13. If someone in the US was caught with video or pictures of that they would be looking at 20-30 years
And here we are paying for it to happen.

I agree. Why isn't this front page news?
