The CIA knows that sex sells and they are not above using that to their advantage. In Afghanistan, agents are trading Viagra for information on the Taliban.

It’s not unusual for the CIA to offer incentives for insider tips, but those gifts are usually money, medical services or travel visas. However, if it’s that magical blue pill that gets the Afghan chieftains going, who is the CIA to argue?
 

The Washington Post illustrates that point with a story:

The Afghan chieftain looked older than his 60-odd years, and his bearded face bore the creases of a man burdened with duties as tribal patriarch and husband to four younger women. His visitor, a CIA officer, saw an opportunity, and reached into his bag for a small gift.

Four blue pills. Viagra.

"Take one of these. You'll love it," the officer said. Compliments of Uncle Sam.

The enticement worked. The officer, who described the encounter, returned four days later to an enthusiastic reception. The grinning chief offered up a bonanza of information about Taliban movements and supply routes -- followed by a request for more pills.

This seems like the perfect arrangement. Everyone is, ahem, satisfied: The CIA is happy, the Afghan chieftains are happy, and the Afghan chieftains’ wives are really happy.
 

With enticements like these, maybe even Osama Bin Laden will come out of hiding.
