It appears Khan had used up his usefulness, or knew too much about the true corruption going on to be free. Also if the U.S. was paying him off, it is certain there are many other drug kingpins that the U.S. is/has bought off.

Maybe he crossed his masters...

They do not like competition.....
The sad thing is a lot of people blame the Taliban for the poppy/opium production. There was a documentary about Afghanistan, before the 9-11 event, that showed the Taliban blowing up the huge statues (Hindu?) and they talked about how the poppy fields were eradicated under Islamic law.
That was the problem. They did eradicate the poppy fields. It cut way into the CIA's supply so things had to be changed. War on the Taliban has been a great success for the CIA, as now production is better than ever.
It is much easier to grow the poppies when our soldiers protect the crop from the evil Taliban.

The Taliban had the farmers switched to other crops. CIA needed production back.

QuoteWhat doesn't make sense is why would Afghan civilians blow each other up? In these attacks, more of their own people are killed, than that of the enemy, every time. Simple logic will tell you that there is more to these attacks than suicidal jihads. How do these "insurgents" get away with bombing our troops over and over again? How do they get the sophisticated remote detonated shape charge explosives, and how do they always know where troops will be to make their attacks so effective? Maybe our troops should start looking closely at any non-American "help". What Arab person would blow up a market full of Arab children if the U.S. is their enemy? Would you bomb your own people to deal with an invading force, or would you focus your attacks on the invading force? You don't have to be a genius to figure this stuff out. The people placing the bombs are not who you think it is, but the connection is easy to figure out when you realize you are guarding poppy and heroin production that the Taliban tried to rid itself of. Follow the poppies to find the enemy, but be careful, because they are amongst your ranks as well. Get our Basic Training now and start battling for the real cause.
