Yesterday, we received word that things were getting a little bit weird over at the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan.

Apparently, the employees hired by ArmorGroup — the private contracting company that guards our embassy compound in Kabul — has been getting a little Lord of the Fliesy with the hazing and the drinking and the running around naked and the peeing on each other. You know, the kind of stuff that all private contractors have to keep a sharp out for.

I — like, I'm guessing, most people — figured there was a healthy dose of hyperbole injected into the story.

I was wrong…

You see, this is the problem with digital cameras. Everyone's got one, so as soon as you start dancing naked around a bonfire, you just know someone's gonna take a picture, and then — out of the context of the blood offering rite — you end up looking kind of silly.

More pics after the jump…

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has just come into possession of a 10-page letter from the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan. Apparently, the situation over there has really deteriorated and is becoming seriously dangerous.

No, not on the streets or in the hills. Inside the U.S. Embassy…

Guards hired by the State Department to protect diplomats and staff at the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan live and work in a "Lord of the Flies" environment in which they are subjected to hazing and other inappropriate behavior by supervisors, a government oversight group charged Tuesday…

The message described scenes of abuse including guards and supervisors urinating on people and "threats and intimidation from those leaders participating in this activity."

Photographs show guards and supervisors in various stages of nudity at parties that took place from the housing of other supervisors.

Whoa! That sounds cah-razy!

I have a feeling Bill Clinton might be dispatched on another "diplomatic mission."
