Maybe I’m not paying too much attention, but does our 1st amendment apply to other countries?

I don’t think the distribution of the Voices of the Mujahadeen is any of the State department’s business. What it boils down to is–they’ve turned their backs on the Northern Alliance, and Karzai is the puppet for the terrorists.
The only way they can keep leaders like Karzai in power is if they shut down any freedom of speech. It seems as though the FBI and its soviet infiltration is showing at this point…by their working with the NDS and allowing the NDS to torture our boys while they stand in the halls laughing.
That is the point. The newly elected parliament is full of members of the Northern Alliance who have been fighting the soviets and the Taliban for about 23 years. There is a new sheriff in town.
For some reason, although our boys have been fighting alongside the Northern Alliance and against the Taliban, now that Karzai is in power and trying to appoint Taliban members into positions of power such as the judiciary and spreading disinformation, the only way for this to hold on is if the voices of Commander Massoud’s Northern Alliance are silenced.
This would go completely contrary to everything we’ve lost blood and treasure over in Afghanistan thus far…not to mention the Afghanis who have lost their lives like Commander Massoud who died after Bin Laden took a contract out on him because he believed they would never win as long as Massoud was alive.
