I truly want to hear the Clipse namedrop Ahmed Wali Karzai on the forthcoming Till The Casket Drops. Until then, here’s some digging I did into the alleged CIA asset’s drug facilitation, and how it helps the Taliban.

It’s been widely speculated that Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of President Hamid Karzai, is deep into the drug game. (I even interviewed the Afghan ambassador to the United States about it in 2007.) Peters told me there’s no question. “I’ve been shown intelligence reports indicating he’s worked with a major drug trafficker connected to the Taliban and al-Qaeda,” she said. That would be Haji Juma Khan, the “Pablo Escobar of South Asia,” whom Peters describes as moving up to $1 billion worth of opiates annually.

Now check out this indictment of Khan from a New York Court last year. The indictment claims that Khan repeatedly kicks money up to the Taliban, and on several occasions, shortly after Khan’s payments come in, the Taliban pulls off attacks. I’m not sure how strong the connection is there — the Taliban surely have more than one revenue stream — but it’s not nothing, either. And despite the indictment, Khan’s network is still in business.

Peters — that’s Gretchen Peters, author of Seeds of Terror –told me that A.W. Karzai is the guy you want to know if you want to make sure that the police on the highway aren’t going to pull over your truck filled with drugs. He lives by Little Melvin‘s code — you are never to be seen with drugs or guns — also known as Biggie’s eighth commandment.

In case the point is lost: It is very like that CIA money has, however inadvertently, helped the Taliban. I cannot get members of Congress to even touch this shit. Only John Kerry appears upset.
