Even Drug dealers say no sometimes...

With a curtsey to Jonathan at Crush Liberalism (He really doesn't want to crush us all), comes this story.

I went to the New York Post to verify what he had reported via Matt Drudge, article linked above in title. Seems that Osama Bin Laden had a rather nifty idea to kill alot of Americans, poison their cocaine.

The article claims that sources said the feds were told that bin Laden personally met with leaders of a Colombian drug cartel in 2002 to negotiate the purchase of tons of cocaine, saying that he was willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to finance the deal.

The drug cartel according to these same sources, turned down the request. Not because they want to help fight terrorism, but because they realized Americans dying from using poisoned cocaine might just hurt their future business profits as well as make our government not very happy with them.

Given there have been repeated claims that al Qaeda is involved in some aspects of the poppy trade in Afghanistan and the financing and facilitation of heroin-trafficking activities, it kind of adds to belief that Drugs kill.
