Ban drugs! That will solve the problem! They won't have any source for their funding, because no one will buy the illegal stuff!

Oh, wait, we did that already. Wonder how they're making money on something that's illegal?

[livius]

This is certainly true. And terrorism is also profiting from a host of other crimes, ranging from extortion to money laundering to counterfeiting to - well, you name it. People who complain about anti-terrorism laws being used against "common criminals" obviously don't understand that it's all part of a whole.

[JmyBryan]

Just keep them illegal, no matter what - and criminals will continue to profit from them. So simple, yet so divisive.

Bunk! It was the Bush admin. that paid THE TALIBAN to not grow opium.

WOD Ping

[GraniteStateConservative]

The War on Some Drugs-- does this mean they are bringing back those lame TV PSA ads?

[xrp]

Seems to me like the US government is making errr SEIZING a good amount of money thanks to illegal drugs as well.

Calling all totalitarian FReepers, here's another WoD/anti-WoD thread for you!

He warned that secret channels used to ship narcotics into the United States could also transport biological or nuclear weapons.

And still no locking down of the US-Mexico border...

[Phantom Lord]

Now that Tommy Chong has been captured terrorisms funding should dry up.

[Conservative til I die]

Then take (most of) the profit out of it by legalizing drugs. I'm not even in fedgov and I could figure that out. I guess the "laws" of economics take a hike only when the WOD is involved.

[edchambers]

Up until the 30s most drugs were legal in this country did we have drug addicts rolling around in the gutters on every street corner?I don't know I wasn't there, but I have been to a couple countries where most prescription drugs we have could be easily be purchased over the counter.I didn't see alot of whacked out dope fiends there either.

Terrorists make a lot more money from small corner grocery stores and petty scams than drugs. But by saying drugs=terrorism they can keep the drug war going.

[I_love_weather]

The terrorists are also getting a ton of money from the sale of OIL...

[bc2]

US drug czar says terrorism profiting from drugs being illegal.

There I fixed the title for you.

[Cyrus the Great]

hogwash from DEA propaganda.

[gcruse]

Drug lord, drug czar. Both profit mightily from the sale of illegal drugs.

I'm expecting to see, any day now, a cartoon showing Rush Limbaugh in the passenger seat of a convertible and Osama bin Laden behind the wheel.

The caption: "When you're doing drugs, you're riding with bin Laden!"
