Notorious special forces unit of the CIA "Blackwater" (now renamed to "security company" Xe Service) forced Iraqi girls and women from Eastern Europe to be engaged in prostitution, and the ArmorGroup company that guards the democratic US Embassy in Afghanistan kept whole democratic brothels, the press reports.
The American newspaper The Washington Post told about the investigation, carried out by the Center for Conscientiousness in State Policy.
Mercenaries from the Blackwater company, whose leadership does not hide the fact that it is waging crusade war against Islam in Iraq and Afghanistan, is accused of these crimes.
After a scandal involving murder of Iraqi civilians by members of the Blackwater Company, it had to change its name to Xe Service.
The former member of this terrorist gang, who asked his name not be published, said that mercenaries with many years of "work" collected money, and then abused Iraqi girls of 12-13 years for this money.
The anonymous source has also told that he everything reported to his immediate superior, but no action was taken.
A story about girls from Eastern Europe, who hoped they are going to Dubai to work as servants, has been unveiled by one of independent journalists.
The organization in this case was more clear: the traffic has been adjusted by a subcontractor working for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service. But instead of organizing of points of public catering, employees were engaged in quite a different way recruited girls were forced to surrender their passports on arrival in Iraq. The captives were able to buy them by paying a fee of 1100 dollars, but it was not possible, taking into account the meager pay they receive for engaging in prostitution.
The "factory of sex" has even a stronger base in Afghanistan. About one hundred Chinese women were released just 4 years ago in a series of raids on brothels. But the illegal human trafficking is continuing. Mercenaries from the ArmorGroup, the company, until recently, providing security of the democratic American Embassy in Kabul, were also engaged in that business.
The CIA got to know about the investigation. But no further steps were taken, the author of the article writes.
"The last horror of "twin-wars" (Iraq, Afghanistan) that Barack Obama inherited from George Bush, has a face of woman forced into prostitution in the name of the second idol, who shares the altar with the money: sex",an article published in Italian newspaper La Repubblica says
"But 8 years after the start of the war on terror, the score in this battle is even more miserable - 0:0", the newspaper writes.
Under the laws of the United States and other Western countries, government contractors and employees are forbidden to engage in sex trafficking in war zones. Anyone, found guilty in involvement in human trafficking, should be ousted from office. What are the results after all?
"Zero prosecutions," said Martina Vandenberg, a lawyer and former Human Rights Watch investigator, "suggests zero effort to enforce the law."
Human rights activists believe that the US authorities simply prefer to close their eyes on what is happening.
Prosecutors privately complain that the supervision of laws observance against human trafficking and forcing women into prostitution is nearly unenforceable, partly because it makes little distinction between organized sexual slavery and voluntary prostitution. (We would like to mention in this context that voluntary prostitution is an inalienable democratic right of whores of all stripes and sexes. The right is implanted in Muslim countries occupied by democratic regimes. Prostitutions is the first sign of successful democratization of the country - KC)
Laura Dickinson, an Arizona State University law professor, said law enforcement authorities face two main challenges in pursuing such crimes: gathering evidence and legal jurisdiction. The FBI has 35 to 40 agents in war zones, but they are focused on investigating fraud and corruption. The military's law enforcement agencies have about 150 agents in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kuwait handling all types of felony-level crimes.
Some experts say investigators and prosecutors will probably decline a trafficking case if it proves time-consuming and manpower-intensive.
