In reply to Afghan warlords keeping boys as sex slaves: UN 

I'm not wondering real hard though. We see the UN being mentioned, but I bet the US admin has had a hand somewhere in preparing this offensive against the practice of "bacha bazi".

As it happens, only just about a week ago I sent an email to a current 
affairs TV show which airs on the same ABC network where this article appears and suggested that they do a story on this issue, and provided several relevant links of course. Might as well repeat the links here for those who wish to learn more:
