now, were i trying to write a story like this now, i'd be writing about the connections of u.s.-backed forces in afghanistan to the opium trade (worldnet story). the taliban had succeeded in almost destroying opium cultivation, which has gone through the roof (u.n. report) since the victory of u.s.-led forces. this is massively ironic given the propaganda campaign designed to link the drug trade to terrorism.
