Wikileaks Reveals U.S. Tax Dollars Fund Child Sex Slavery in Afghanistan |
|
"The now infamous Wikileaks recently released a cable from Afghanistan revealing U.S. government contractor DynCorp threw a party for Afghan security recruits featuring trafficked boys as the entertainment. Bacha bazi is the Afghan tradition of "boy play" where young boys are dressed up in women's clothing, forced to dance for leering men, and then sold for sex to the highest bidder. ..."http://humantrafficking.change.org/blog/view/wikileaks_reveals_us_tax_dollars_fund_child_sex_slavery_in_afghanistan

2. There are many sick people in this world |

And yet what are we focusing on? Oh yeah, wikileaks, pot smokers, anti-war protesters and the like.
That's one f**ked up planet we're living on. :crazy:

5. la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la....... Conspiracy Theory!.... |
|
I suppose you want me to believe that the CIA supported Mujaheddin of the 80's are now Al-Ciada...
And that the US government is giving fertilizer to Opium growers..
Or US contractors would do such cheap shoddy work that they would construct showers that electrocuted our service men and women to death.
Who do you think you are, Alex Jones!!

Is anybody really surprised by this?
So it happened. Is probably still happening.
What's anybody gonna do about it now that we all know? Probably not a damned thing.

11. However the fact that it leaked is what's being addressed by the media, not the fact itsself. |
