Did the CIA trade Viagra for intel?
Viagra. Its usefulness extends beyond what you had imagined.
CIA operatives in Afghanistan may be buying favors from local leaders using the erection-boosting drug Viagra, the Washington Post reports. A tribal patriarch described in the Post story was happy to provide info about Taliban trade routes to intel officers in exchange for the little blue pills.
“Whatever it takes to make friends and influence people—whether it’s building a school or handing out Viagra,” a CIA operative told the paper. Another CIA source was careful to point out that the agency only uses tactics “consistent with the laws of our country.”
