The memo you cited does not say anything about pushing fake stories. The lie isn't that the Taliban are bad, it's the lie of omission implying that the other Afghans are good.
They really don't, they only care about themselves, which is why you can find a hundred stories about the plight of affluent white liberal women being "raped in a videogame" for every story about stuff like sexual slavery in the Middle East.
Afghan women could serve as ideal messengers in humanizing the ISAF role in combating the Taliban because of women’s ability to speak personally and credibly about their experiences under the Taliban, their aspirations for the future, and their fears of a Taliban victory. Outreach initiatives that create media opportunities for Afghan women to share their stories with French, German, and other European women could help to overcome pervasive skepticism among women in Western Europe toward the ISAF mission.
• According to INR polling in the fall of 2009, French women are 8 percentage points less likely to support the mission than are men, and German women are 22 percentage points less likely to support the war than are men.
• Media events that feature testimonials by Afghan women would probably be most effective if broadcast on programs that have large and disproportionately female audiences. (C//NF)

It was pro-ISAF, that is the foreign forces.
A modern "Why We Fight" that wasn't blatant.
Speaking of which.

CIA Report: Use feminism to reduce Western opposition to military occupation of #Afghanistan [2010]
gonna be real honest with you:
i don't give a shit about the plight of some woman on the opposite side of the planet.
sucks, but it's not my responsibility.
Feminists care more about women at the other side of the planet than they do about the average man.
Feminism taps into the natural desire that women have to throw men under the bus to improve her life.
They really don't, they only care about themselves, which is why you can find a hundred stories about the plight of affluent white liberal women being "raped in a videogame" for every story about stuff like sexual slavery in the Middle East.

A goal of Feminists:
Sending young men off to fight in unnecessary wars. This has been true since World War 1 until Afghanistan.
The CIA utilized them.
It's interesting to consider the catastrophic effect that a huge number of masculine white men dying in WW1 had on the decline of Western nations.
