Afhgan Opium Kingpin on CIA payroll!

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

A bombshell article in today’s edition of the New York Times lifts the lid on how the brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, a suspected kingpin of the country’s booming opium trade, has been on the CIA payroll for the past eight years. However, the article serves as little more than a whitewash because it fails to address the fact that one of the primary reasons behind the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan was the agenda to reinstate the Golden Crescent drug trade.

“The agency pays (Ahmed Wali) Karzai for a variety of services, including helping to recruit an Afghan paramilitary force that operates at the C.I.A.’s direction in and around the southern city of Kandahar, Mr. Karzai’s home,” reports the Times.

An October 2008 report from the Times reveals how, after security forces discovered a huge tractor-trailer full of heroin outside Kandahar in 2004, “Before long, the commander, Habibullah Jan, received a telephone call from Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of President Hamid Karzai, asking him to release the vehicle and the drugs.”

In 2006, following the discovery of another cache of heroin, “United States investigators told other American officials that they had discovered links between the drug shipment and a bodyguard believed to be an intermediary for Ahmed Wali Karzai.”

The Times article out today also discusses how the CIA uses Karzai as a go-between between the Americans and the Taliban. He is also directly implicated in the manufacturing of phony ballots and polling stations that were attributed to the President’s disputed election victory.

“If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck,” the American officer said of Mr. Karzai. “Our assumption is that he’s benefiting from the drug trade.”

Officials quoted by The Times described Karzai as a Mafia-like figure who expanded his influence over the drug trade with the aid of U.S. efforts to eliminate his competitors.

The Afghan opium trade has exploded since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, following a lull after the Taliban had imposed a crackdown. According to the U.N., the drug trade is now worth $65 billion. Afghanistan produces 92 per cent of the world’s opium, with the equivalent of 3,500 tonnes leaving the country each year. Other figures put the number far higher, at around 6,100 tonnes a year.......con't

I'm going to add this to another WTF Afghanistan thread. Sometimes it's so obvious with the CIA drug running I forget to include it. I mistakenly called Karzai a warlord: should be drug lord.

thanks for the post micjer

burgundia - And the whole brother thing reminds me of Rahm Emanuel wrt Israel-(Iran). He's Obama's Chief of Staff. I read something about a brotherly network there too. I don't know what his brothers do, but they are... well, brothers etc. I still worry about Qom, the war games there (US/Israel) right now.

Speaking of antisemitism, if, say, Israel denies clean water to Gaza, does that make Israel antisemitic?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel

Note: This Semitic family includes the ancient and modern forms of Akkadian, Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic, Ge'ez, Hebrew, Maltese, Phoenician, Tigre and Tigrinya among others. Persians (Iran) are different that way - but still Muslim. The Saudis hate them too .... hmmmm....... the Taliban began in opposition to the House of Saud - Arabia (then to US alliance with it)... hmmm ....

I am pretty sure it was the UK/US/UN that put their man in place. What a surprise.
