    posting entire copyrighted articles rather than linking to them not good. Hey, Guardian needs the ad revenue.

    ...to where credit is due. You and I figured it out. And really, whay has changed in 9 years? The Guardian article is as cogent to day is it was then -- but really should have been dated and sourced in all fairness.

    to replace pasted-in unsourced copyrighted Guardian article with link thereto. Thanks. Article, while ten years old, is worth reading nonetheless, as would be a current update.

    Experts back startling heroin claims

    Alan Travis, home affairs editor

    The prime minister's startling claim yesterday that 90% of the heroin sold on British streets comes from Afghanistan was backed up last night by experts in the drug trade and radical law reformers. link to 2001 Guardian UK article ********************************************************************************************* Thousands more Americans plow through a ruinous country trying to build something from nothing. An American general said he wouldn't be blame a soldier for sending a few kilos home. How much longer do we have to watch and pay in blood & treasure for this obscenity? Meanwhile Dr.s provide opioid pain-killers to anybody and then they're surprised when pretty Betty-Jo, the former prom queen and now married pharmacy technician, gets blown away by a 16 year-old with a shot-gun at the local Rite Aid??.
