>The US swallowed these cups of tea to justify its imperial aims
>Mortenson's feet of clay expose far more than one fantasist: they also reveal a lot about the naivety of Americans concerning the world and their role in it.
Uh...

Ignorant anti-American, holier-than-thou, hypocritical Guardian writers. It was a great try though, Madeleine Bunting, and I'm sure that your editors agreed with you that once you'd pinned it all on America the fact checkers could head out early.
The idea that it was a fantasy for Americans only is ridiculous. As a percentage far more Brits I know were familiar with CAI than Americans, and what's more they (left-wingers who I'm sure love the Guardian) were all actively supportive of Mortensen and CAI as an alternative to what the Americans were seen as doing (drones). The accusatory tone of this article is bullshit unless you believe that the book was only read by Americans and that Americans were the only ones with interests in Afghanistan.
Bunting will probably get a bunch of article hits and a raise, though.
