Seeds of Terror (Compact Disc)

When you inject yourself with heroin, the terrorists win. Gretchen Peters reconfigures our view of the Taliban and al-Qaeda by showing that they are little more than drug kingpins with a terrifying agenda. Peters has been covering Pakistan and Afghanistan for more than a decade, and she has compiled a comprehensive case detailing how terrorist organizations finance their causes with money earned from selling drugs to westerners. According to Peters, the Bush administration`s neglect of Afghanistan in favor of Iraq has allowed the Taliban to stockpile an enormous supply of opium for future sale, and that the al-Qaeda members are becoming more and more involved in the smuggling and sale of the drugs, often accompanying the shipments overseas. After reading Peters`s account of the situation, which features access to top-secret documents and stunning revelations from CIA and DEA officials, it becomes absolutely apparent that cutting off the drug trade is an essential step in winning the war on terror.
