I read about this during the Bush Administration in Rolling Stone Magazine. I agree it's an absolutely abhorrent and terrible policy, but it didn't originate with Obama.

after manufacturing the lynch "rescue" and covering up tillman's fratricide - both lies well exposed with little to no consequences for the decision makers – pushing around a few relatively low level officers that chose to do the right thing to protect innocent children should be a cake walk.

Foreign Policy Magazine article from 2013 - Bacha bazi - An Afghan Tragedy

While the Afghan government has been able to address some of these issues since the Taliban’s ouster in 2001, archaic social traditions and deep-seated gender norms have kept much of rural Afghanistan in a medieval state of purgatory. Perhaps the most deplorable tragedy, one that has actually grown more rampant since 2001, is the practice of bacha bazi — sexual companionship between powerful men and their adolescent boy conscripts.

This phenomenon presents a system of gender reversal in Afghanistan. Whereas rural Pashtun culture remains largely misogynistic and male-dominated due to deeply-ingrained Islamic values, teenage boys have become the objects of lustful attraction and romance for some of the most powerful men in the Afghan countryside.

Demeaning and damaging, the widespread subculture of pedophilia in Afghanistan constitutes one of the most egregious ongoing violations of human rights in the world. The adolescent boys who are groomed for sexual relationships with older men are bought — or, in some instances, kidnapped — from their families and thrust into a world which strips them of their masculine identity. These boys are often made to dress as females, wear makeup, and dance for parties of men. They are expected to engage in sexual acts with much older suitors, often remaining a man’s or group’s sexual underling for a protracted period.

This is where a hierarchy of values may prove useful to understanding. How can you regulate the mores of a people when you can't regulate their ability to launch destruction at you?
