In an effort to win over fickle warlords and chieftains in Afghanistan
and get information from them, CIA officials are handing out Viagra
pills in exchange for their cooperation, the Washington Post reports.
"Whatever it takes to make friends and influence people - whether it's
building a school or handing out Viagra," an agency operative,
speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the Post.
The growing Taliban insurgency has forced the agency to get creative
in how they obtain certain information from Afghan warlords and tribal
leaders, including Taliban movements and supply routes.
CIA operatives use everything from toys and school equipment to tooth
extractions to their advantage and note that if Americans don't offer
incentives, others, including Taliban commanders, will.
