OT--disturbing


Just heard on NPR [and confirmed by US Army officers in the field] that since the deposing of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the heroin trade has grown to $2 billion a year. The US army says it is waiting for "policy guidance" from Washington before cracking down on dealers and distributors. Afghanistan produces 80 percent of the wold's heroin. Scary.
