Peter, actually I was the one who posted the Frontline piece on this story not only here but on my own website.

The complicit behaviour of Afghan authorities cannot be overlooked as this is still very much a wide spread practise in certain tribal areas.
But, the American government has not knowingly contributed to this problem although by supporting the Karsi government, things tend to get lost in the shuffle.
In 2007 I saw examples of this practise still very much evident during my time spent in country with our troops, British troops, and of course American units.
