Little Blue Pills Among the Ways CIA Wins Friends in Afghanistan

People have been posting that the CIA is in the drug trade for some time. Its just basically been hear say and speculation more then any thing.

If we can WIN the war on terror with Viagra, I'm all for it.

It is a good point you made though, everyone is getting what they want.
It is to bad they cant engineer a virus in it then slip it to the Taliban.

what about testing acid on people in the 60s

Amazing...we pay our taxes for our alphabet soup agencies that provide erections to 3rd world warlords. Erections for information.

Does the CIA have no shame?

A good thing and then "human nature" says too bad they can't engineer a virus in it then slip it to the Taliban.

If you ever get a chance someday, google Barry Seal and Mena AK, that's some pretty wicked stuff for mere speculation.
