It provides historical context to the CIA’s recruiting of drug lords, including using the Laos-Vietnam era case officer to work with Karzai family members with drug connections. This story advances the recent New York Times article on Karzai’s well connected brother.

Wow! So much more of the same that props up Wall Street, pays for covert operations for corporate best interest, and in the mean time it is a war on the people.

How far from reality is this now when the CIA/heroin/money laundering/war profiteers factors are gathered in the Afghan equation ?

Alarming rate of addiction among Afghan women
http://www.rawa.org/temp/runews/2009/11/29/alarming-rate-of-addiction-among-afgh...Opium addiction among rural women has been exacerbated by a lack of access to health services either due to cultural restrictions or dearth of health centres, say health workers. “Women use opium not for fun or luxury but as the only available painkiller to them,” said Mahbooba Ebadi, an obstetrician in Balkh. It is unclear how many Afghan women use opium, but a 2005 addiction survey by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) put the number of adult female drug users in the country at 120,000. At least 900,000 Afghans were estimated to be drug addicts out of a population of 25 million in 2005.

"Opium is our doctor," says Beg. "When your stomach hurts, you take a smoke. Then you take a little more. And a little more. And then, you're addicted. Once you're hooked, it's over. You're finished.''

Word to the wise future CIA, if you're going to declare war on your own people. Make sure your war isn't unconstitutional.
Just a thought.

Simply put the CIA has too much power and needs to be either abolished completely or heavily weakened and regulated. The world and the U.S. public has suffered enough from the CIA's clandestine actions.
