These drugs are being sold on the streets of America and funnel right back to fund terrorists. The poppy trade seems to parallel US involvement intelligence operational starting in Vietnam, The Corsican Mob's involvement in the JFK assassination, South East Asia, Central America, Iran -Contra, South America and now Afghanistan. Coincidence? Not according to our guest and his book "The Great Heroin Coup". Jerry Meldon is Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.
