| Has anyone seen reports confirming the we had targeted the poppy fields in Afganistan? We have been trying to stop the flow of drugs into our country for several years. This seems like a good change to bomb a "legitimate" target limiting their cash flow and also limiting the production of herion. |

From an article I read in the NYTimes a few months ago, the Taliban had outlawed the growing of poppy. There was a reporter interviewing a nold former poppy farmer who wished that the Taliban would let thm grow poppy again, since it was the only real source of income for their country. [smoke] |
