Brought to You by the CIA
By DAVE LINDORFF
"The real story here is that where the US goes, the drug trade soon follows, and the leading role in developing and nurturing that trade appears to be played by the Central Intelligence Agency.
Your tax dollars at work.
Americans, who for years have supported a stupid, blundering and ineffective “War on Drugs” in this country, and who mindlessly back “zero-tolerance” policies towards drugs in schools and on the job, should demand a “zero-tolerance” policy toward drugs and dealing with drug pushers in government and foreign policy, including the CIA.
The opium, and resulting heroin, that is flooding into Europe and America thanks to the CIA’s active support of the industry and its owners in Afghanistan are doing far more grave damage to our societies than any terrorists armed with suicide bomb vests could hope to inflict."

Don't hold your breath waiting for justice in a "free country" that can't even grow its own industrial hemp. Criminals have a way of plea bargaining with other criminals... if there is ever a "trial" at all.
