It's hard to get in. A special permit or people, who have the one, are required. Green Village is the western paradise in snobby, but still apart from modern civilization Afghanistan, populated by privileged caste, including foreign experts, various humanitarian and other missions, overseas pilots, employees and wealthy Afghans. They are wealthy in mid-western, non-Afghan standards. In the absence of any industry, explored and developed hydrocarbon deposits, the legal international commodity exchanges the necessary alternative to make money in Afghanistan is becoming a drug baron. Afghan heroin in recent years is a byword. The number and location of plantations, laboratories, and delivery path are matters of common knowledge. But the year-on-year export business of drugs is drastically increasing. This has come to the front with the "Operation Enduring Freedom" in 2001, when U.S. troops, along with coalition forces in Afghanistan have begun to manufacture democracy. As a result ground has been filled out with a quantity of scarlet poppies instead of at some time traditional wheat, corn and cotton. In fine, the area of opium crops during the U.S. troops' presence in Afghanistan has spread 100 times, a production of heroin - by 40 times. The foreign authorities take it cynical and indifferent. It raises suspicions whether U.S. is committed in Afghanistan heroin expansion. We have come to Green Village to question a wealthy and highly respected Afghan. Let's call him Said. He is the current functionary of Afghan political elite and one of the big men of its underground economy. We know what way he has got the money for four-story mansion with fountains, white columns, gilded moldings and crystal chandeliers. He knows that we know. But the conversation, according to Eastern tradition, is abstract, as if anybody suspects nothing. - The Americans have never set themselves objective of combating the drug threat - Said begins to speak in excellent English showing an ultrawhite smile. - For them, Afghanistan is the base coterminous to China, Iran, Pakistan ... It was started in order to this. Drugs, the Taliban ... What's it all about? If they would like to nail down the Taliban, it had to be started from drugs. What resistance can be without funding? - Is that so the Taliban are involved in the drug trade? It seems, under their governance heroin production has dropped to zero. - A very common myth, that at the end of nineties up to 35 percent of the heroin business revenues went just to the Taliban. By the way, Taliban's connection with al-Qaeda has caused an establishment of a drug distribution network, which with the beginning of U.S. operation has completely driven former leaders Myanmar, Laos and Thailand out of business. A single terrorist network was also suitable for drug activity. The reasons for the dramatic decrease in the heroin production in 2001 are the Taliban attempts to gain international prestige. They hoped to get reward equal to merit for the "war on drugs", but have faced the invading of coalition forces. Just one year after the start of "Operation Enduring Freedom" the opium bricks production in Afghanistan has increased by 1400 percent! In addition the price has slowed to a trickle. In South Asia kilogram of pure heroin cost 10,000 dollars, in Afghanistan - only 650. Due to the dumping the country has instantly become the world monopolist. In addition, before the invasion laboratory manufacturing, generally, was in neighboring Pakistan, then, with the manufacturing of democracy with its cultural, but in the main technological advances, in Afghanistan closed production cycle has been launched on an industrial scale. Western firms, without elaborating, delivered to the Islamic republic necessary fertilizers, pharmacological equipment, and chemical reagents as the form of humanitarian aid to farmers and developers of drugs. United States established a supply of compact mobile drilling rigs, by which any farmer could build reclamation in the driest areas. The seeds of poppies were begun to ship from the U.S. and Europe. The business is cynical, profit is before anything else. A start-up capital for profitable investments was provided not by drug industry movers and shakers, but by respectable Western banks. Kandahar during the presence of coalition forces in Afghanistan has turned into a financial center serving the drug industry. The loans to "farmers", "pharmacology", carriers are made there, the same as payments for the sold lots through the Afghan financial know-how - the national banking semi-legal "hawala", as well as through Western banks of global renown and credit organizations. And all actions were in front of a large contingent of U.S., UK and Canada, stationed near Kandahar. As a result of a favorable investment climate plantations and laboratories spread over the Islamic Republic. The main were in the provinces of Balkh, Helmand, Kunar, Nangarhar, Paktia, Khost, Kunduz and Faizabad. Information about the fields and laboratories in these areas, including satellite imagery is regularly reported to the International Security Assistance Force. But they just "take it into consideration." U.S. generals believe that with the complexity of the "operational situation" in the country it would be extremely dangerous to incur the wrath of the farmers. Apparently, the support of Afghanistan agricultural areas' public is badly needed to Americans. Consequently if some special operations or humanitarian mission, God forbid, wreck farmers' nerves, "democratizers" pay fifteen hundred dollars per hectare as compensation. - This compensation, of course, does not pay for loss - said Said. - The cost of harvest per hectare is about 15 thousand dollars. But due to our climate conditions we can take the crop three times a year. So these are production costs. - Are there really no counterdrug structures? - Why not? - Afghan is grinning. - There are United Nations Drug Control Programme and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. They hold joint press conferences and make proclamations - that is the extent of their practice. This business is profitable for the West, including reasons of cost - heroin traffic generates revenue up to 80 percent of Afghanistan's GDP. That way we will get self-repayment someday (laughing). - Don't you confuse by the moral aspect of this business? - I assure you, no one, involved in this scheme, thinks of adolescents who OD n' die. Everyone thinks only of oneself - the farmer of pesticides, chemical - of the reagents, the carrier - how to be uncaught ... It's another level of understanding. For you, this is really a threat, but for the people who do this every day - this is a normal job, which brings good income. It is noteworthy that only homeopathic doses of Afghan heroin get U.S. Perhaps that is why Americans are so passive in Afghanistan. Washington is wrestling against the more close Latin American threat of drug traffic. For example, U.S. gives a multi-million dollar grants for the development of herbicides, destroying coca crops in a foreign, sovereign country. At the same time, the destruction of plantations in Afghanistan is seen as the peasants' rights violation. In the United States is possible to face a long-time prison term even for intent to import cocaine. In Afghanistan, the same drug is made in full view of several thousand of U.S. troops and their armed companions. But American teenagers are not affected by this drug. Is this a reason for not so strict control? Can the Americans have selfish interests in the Afghan drug trafficking? - In the 90s, after the departure of shuravi, the economy completely collapsed, and the production of opium was the only chance to survive. There was a real hunger - says Said. - And before the Taliban almost every laboratory had its curator-American. It was someone like consultant, suppliers and buyers communicated through him. - What now? - Now the structure is self-sufficient, - Afghan speaks intricately. - The good news is that they don't interfere. At long last, they need funds to build bungalow in Florida. The head of the heroin River Of course there are no direct evidences of U.S. military involvement in the drug trafficking. Although indirect evidences for this are quite enough. In Kosovo, the largest heroin transit point in Europe, you will be talked about using of U.S. military transport aircraft. A former employee of the UN drug control, a native of the former Soviet Union, told us in Kabul about the events in the middle of the 2000s: "Weekly the U.S. cargo planes conducted 800 flights to its European bases in Afghanistan. The command of the International Security Assistance Force turned a blind eye to such activity. In fact, there were reasons to believe that the military transport ships were used to smuggle heroin into the Old World. One staging post was at the Turkish U.S. Air Force Base in Incirlik. The second, which was the largest, post located in Kosovo. Up to 100 tons were transited through the NATO military objects in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria. Although, compared to the main traffic, it's not so much. I don't think that since 2006, when I retired, anything has changed. Although it's not necessary to do dirty work. The system is well-defined. Now it's easier to control the heroin "branches", "control the stream" and receive dividends. In fact, the Americans are doing this". To understand the organization of the current Afghan drug trafficking, we went to one of the poppy fields, near Kunduz. We asked Said to give a tour. He hesitated a long time, as long as we have told him: "We understand that this is not your plantation. You just know someone who knows the field commander, who is in charge of those fields. We want just to look at a poppy field. We have heard that it's beautiful." Said with a smile, praised the eastern ornateness of our request. Also we had two gunmen as escort. We came to the plantation early morning. Inconspicuous pickup Toyota Hilux - there is thousands of such cars. Our escort was not afraid of western roadblocks, there are no such roadblocks outside Kabul, Afghan army patrols passed over us. Especially, as we suspected, the two middle-aged men in a camouflage serve in the present army. Said did not disclose details of the route. The only thing that we realized that the car went towards Kunduz. Climbing to the mountains for a few thousand meters, we have turned into one of the countless canyons, hidden from the aliens by a small village, the inhabitants of which have controlled the well-groomed ground road. Gorge, as we were explained, was transparent and used to carry "goods". The only disadvantage is that at one point of the route the goods are had to move in packs and over the mountain pass again to unload in the cars. But this was road "for good guys" and we guess from the context what things are carried there, when after a few hours of tedious drive, our car started to go down to a huge valley as on the serpentine road. The first person we met was a shepherd with binoculars and a radio station. It could not have been otherwise - the drug business has to control its veins-roads where fertilizers, precursors, and the product itself are flowing. According to the escort, we are already in the British zone of responsibility, but for some reason the West is not interested in the head of the heroin river. Moreover, in the international coalition of military forces based in Afghanistan, the British are responsible for the campaign to combat opium plantations. But it seems, that they have more important things to do. Roads of death According to a former employee of the Russian special services to combat narcotics in Afghanistan, the direct delivery of the finished heroin in Tajikistan is a myth. "The product", as a rule, travels a long way, before crossing the border in Afghanistan. He says, that the one who put the production of heroin in Afghanistan on an industrial basis, decided to global task - to engage in the production and drug trafficking entire country, without exception, to make drug trafficking almost invincible, to tie the whole population to drug revenues. Thus, the raw opium is grown in Afghanistan - EVERYWHERE, no matter who is responsible for the area in which the plantations are located - the Italians, the Germans, the Americans. The collected materials are partly processed, partially are remained in its raw form and transported to the factories in the provinces of Paktia, Khost, Helmand, Kunar, Balkh, Kunduz. We visited the head of heroin vein to Kunduz. After processing diacetylmorphine hydrochloride are sent to Kandahar, which is a transport and financial hub. Here, suppliers and carriers determine further routes of potion. This product does not take up much space and does not deteriorate as opposed to poppy straw, which can simply rot. From Kandahar heroin are sent to Pakistan, specifically - to Chitral area with chemical production of precursors needed for the purification and distillation of raw opium. The most important precursor in a chemical reaction is acetic anhydride, and Pakistan has a monopoly on the production of this component, forcing drugs manufacturers constant to contact with the country. The scheme is simple - if there are no acetic anhydride, poppy growers will get inexpensive and castaway raw opium. Therefore, from the vicinity of Chitral full-flowing and the shipping heroin river heads, after leaks to South-East Asia and the CIS countries, and then - to Russia and Europe. Poppy fields of amazing green metallic color are divided into equal squares by ditches. Only here and there, at the edges, red blooming inflorescences are seen. At sight of this magnificent picture of ripened harvest of death, one of us forgets all agreements with Said and begins to fasten the camera with a wide angle lens. One of the attendants silently turns, picks the camera out and puts hit on his laps. We do not really understand the secrecy. An employee of the Agency for Drug Control under the President of Tajikistan told us that every week he receives a set of images of Afghanistan made by photo-reconnaissance satellite "Cobalt". He feeds information into computer, processes it. The poppy fields he documents separately. Sometimes, if the image quality is low, he checks the information on the new plantations through agents. He files a report : - Every month I give a final report to Americans, the British and the government of Afghanistan. And this is in vain. I've never even heard the words "thank you." I don't say so much as about devastated crops. The West is set no store by this issue. But by conferences and reports they cunningly pretend to conduct anti-heroin war. This is a hoax or sabotage against Russia and Central Asia. Heroin is transited through Tajikistan, but I know that people, who have tried at least once easy drug money, will never go back to honest work. This is hex for generations to come. For thirty minutes we are staying near some adobe hut. Here we see few people in traditional Afghan clothing sitting in the shade. In their hands they are keeping not customary Russian "Kalashnikov", but modification of U.S. M16. - The bullets are easier can be drawn out - explains our escort. We guess that, despite all the approvals, we are not welcomed here. Cell phones don't work in the valley, but going by air wire there is the radio station in the booth, and our guard goes there several times for talks, which seemingly grind on. Finally, we are brought a bag from U.S. fertilizers and are put it on the ground. Signs indicate that we need to put there all the recording equipment. It will be returned to us when we go back. We pack the cameras, cellphones and voice recorder. An Afghan security guard tie a packet in a knot, melts kink with the lighter and treads on it by the foot. Package with appliances are carried to the booth, and we drive on. Sometimes Jeep rolls over a plastic tube - apparently they have seriously decided to do irrigation and bring the number of harvests to four a year. We pass fertilizers stores and watch sheds with dark blue bags with treacherously waved American flags. This is a humanitarian supplies to Afghan farmers. Is it possible that the U.S. doesn't know that the amounts of cultivated cereals and grain crops in Afghanistan are quickly approaching to zero? Another sign of humanitarian aid is a giant drums with plastic pipes for drip irrigation devices displaying English and Hebrew markings. At the end of the plantations, there is a very "drug laboratory" - assembly hangar, a bunch of empty chemical glass and plastic containers, and the acrid smell of acetic anhydride. Here so-called "tear of Allah" - diacetylmorphine - is distilled from raw opium. Our guides explain that in this valley the poppy was ever grown, even though twenty years ago, most of the land here was planted with cotton. Poppy raw materials were processed in the colorants and it was a by-production. But one hectare of poppy field yields the same gains as the 40 hectares of crops, therefore local farmers haven't been thinking long time what line to choose for their agricultural business. We have seen the peasants themselves, only from afar, from the village near one of the valley slopes. Some equipment and dozens of people have moved to the fields. Another "Harvest Festival" was starting in the drug valley. Thousands of miles away it will come to the end with "the dance of death." http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=24d_1371025030 userkc NATO savor of heroin Afghanistan, heroin, drugs Tue, 21 May 2013 21:12:57 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a7c_1369184263 BekasKhan By Michael Hirsh National JournalKABUL, Afghanistan - None of President Hamid Karzai's top advisers knew that he had been receiving tens of millions of dollars in secret cash from the CIA, Afghanistan's senior anticorruption official said, and he added that he did not believe the Afghan leader's claim that he had been giving the agency regular receipts for the money. Mohammad Yasin Osmani, the head of the Independent Joint Anti-Corruption Monitoring and Evaluation Committee, said in an interview last week that he and 39 other advisers who audit expenditures throughout the government &quot;were not aware&quot; of the decade-old payouts, which Karzai acknowledged at a news conference in Kabul on May 4. But Osmani, like other Afghan government officials, was reluctant to criticize Karzai or accuse him of personal corruption, highlighting a growing friction between Afghanistan and the International Security Assistance Force led by the United States over an issue that threatens to upend the rebuilding effort here, and possibly U.S. plans for a post-2014 &quot;strategic partnership&quot; with Afghanistan. Many Afghan officials and politicians contend that their nation's reputation for rampant corruption is exaggerated-according to Transparency International, a monitoring group, Afghanistan is the most corrupt nation on earth, along with Myanmar, North Korea, and Somalia. They say that more to blame are poor procedures by ISAF and Washington that hand aid money directly over to graft-plagued contractors and subcontractors. Ashraf Ghani, a former finance minister who is currently the chairman of the Afghan Transition Coordination Commission, said the Karzai cash controversy is viewed in Washington as simply more evidence of Afghanistan's corrupt ways. But he asked: &quot;What does it say about the way the American government conducts itself?&quot; It is, perhaps, a fair point, especially coming after a decade in which the $60 billion American rebuilding effort in Iraq was deemed hopelessly corrupt-in part because, Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Stuart Bowen concluded in his final report in March, in many cases U.S. officials did not consult with Iraqis closely or deeply enough to determine what reconstruction projects were really needed. Now the Afghans are saying the same thing. Even as the security transition to the Afghan National Security Forces is said to be going more smoothly, civilian transition from U.S. to Afghan oversight is a disaster, Finance Minister Omar Zakhilwal said in an interview. &quot;The transition has not happened,&quot; he said, although as the ISAF-formed &quot;provincial reconstruction teams&quot; are being dismantled. U.S. aid rules have themselves become a source of corruption, Osmani says. Too many private contractors skim off the top as they subcontract a job out, a practice that the Afghan government itself would not permit, he says. Beyond that, &quot;nobody has the right to monitor international community projects,&quot; and yet international auditors are often too leery of going to insecure areas. So little monitoring occurs. And in some cases U.S.-built projects appear to be following the pattern in Iraq. Osmani cited a case in which the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, John Sopko, criticized a $73 million contract given by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to DynCorp International for a shoddily built Afghan National Army base in Kunduz Province. &quot;They didn't allow the government to go out and supervise the project!&quot; Osmani said. The finger-pointing on both sides suggests a long-married couple-10 years of geopolitical marriage in this case-who are fed up with each other but can't bear the idea of divorce. And the mood is getting testier. In a recent report, Sopko accused the Afghan government of &quot;targeting American contractors with unjust taxes and intimidation.&quot; Zakhilwal says the allegations are false. Even in the case of Afghanistan's biggest economic weakness, the heroin trade, Afghan officials say the corruption is far greater outside Afghanistan than inside. &quot;From 2002 to 2009, $420 billion to $460 billion was made by international dealers , while $18 billion made by the Afghan mafia,&quot; says Ghani, citing a report by the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime. &quot;The illegal economy is totally integrated into globalization: with credit and transport.&quot; The question of whether Afghanistan is just too corrupt to save has shaped the entire U.S. approach to post-9/11 Afghanistan, tilting the Obama administration gradually away from &quot;nation-building&quot; and toward a more pared-down counterterrorism strategy. In February 2008, three U.S. senators who are today the Obama administration's key foreign-policy heavyweights-Joe Biden, Chuck Hagel, and John Kerry-had a crucial dinner with Karzai at the Afghan president's palace. After Hagel raised the subject of corruption in Karzai's government, including runaway graft and narcotics connections, Karzai replied, &quot;My dear senator, there is no corruption in my government.&quot; Things then got testier. The American visitors insisted they had a list of corrupt officials and that Karzai's brother was at the top of it, but the Afghan leader disingenuously denied it all-until Biden, by the dessert course, threw down his napkin. &quot;This dinner is over,&quot; he said, walking out. Hagel and Kerry followed. Biden never really regained his trust in Karzai, and by 2009, after he became Barack Obama's vice president, he turned into the new administration's No. 1 skeptic about nation-building. The doubts about Karzai, culminating in charges of election fraud, also poisoned the Afghan president's relations with the late Richard Holbrooke, Obama's special representative for Afghanistan. Karzai continues to deny charges of personal corruption, including about the CIA money. &quot;This money was not given to warlords,&quot; he said at the May 4 news conference in Kabul. &quot;The major part of this money was spent on government employees such as our guards.... It has been paid to individuals, not movements.... We give receipts for all these expenditures to the U.S. government.&quot; Even Osmani is skeptical about that last point. Asked whether he believed there were &quot;receipts,&quot; he responded, &quot;No.&quot; But there are clearly two sides to every corruption story, and the U.S. and Afghan governments need to get their stories straight if the &quot;partnership&quot; is to survive after 2014. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a7c_1369184263 BekasKhan Which Is More Corrupt: Afghanistan or America?

More than 750 Afghan and International forces took part in the operation to stop insurgent activity and weapons trafficking in the Chahar Dara district. The team also disrupted the insurgent shadow governor in Kunduz province. The Afghan-International force provided humanitarian supplies to the affected villages after the operation. Six trucks delivered warm clothing and food, including staple items such as cooking oil, rice and beans. Gov. Mohammad Omar of Kunduz province praised the accuracy of ISAF airstrikes against the insurgents and the caution used to employ them in areas void of civilian population or infrastructure. "It is the largest operation I've ever seen in Kunduz," the governor said. "You've got the Taliban running all over the place. Overall, I think this operation is wonderful." The military elements will continue to meet with village elders and ensure the area remains secure following the conclusion of the combat operations. "People of Kunduz are very appreciative that international forces and Afghan national security forces are working together to better Afghanistan," Governor Omar said. "Taliban in the area are on the run, and we have shown them that they cannot control the area." No ANSF or ISAF personnel were killed, and no civilians were injured during this operation. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=139_1257832311 marinemom Governor of <span class="highlight">Kunduz</span> Province Reacts: &quot;Taliban running...&quot; &quot;Wonderful&quot; afghanistan, kunduz province
