#1 I have read elsewhere on Left leaning sites that the CIA are always involved in drugs running whether South/Central America or Afganistan.

Any truth in this?

#2 I'm not sure why the CIA would be involved, Paul2. I believe a lot of the drugs organizations were originally started to fund communist takeover attempts, so one would think the CIA would have been on the other side... and I do know we've been aiding various Central and South American governments in terms of spraying the fields and otherwise fighting those groups since at least the 1980s. I think you may be reading lefty attempts at confusing the ignorant... or projection. Hope that helps, my dear.

#3 I think the NYT's is just trying to get Karzai's brother killed to prove the "power" of the press. /s (Sarc off I think; but then maybe not) ;-)
