Officials believe the area - near to the Taliban stronghold of Quetta in Pakistan - was turning dried cannabis leaves into heroin.
ROFL.

...got to hold my hands up to being a little embarassed by this. Must've been a Junior reporter or summat but that's no excuse really. Still millons of pounds worth of this muck (whatever it may be) kept off our streets is not to be laughed at.To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity - Oscar Wilde0

This was mentioned on GMTV y'day and they said the Taliban, although hiding in the caves would have came out after the fire looking for the nearest 24hr food outlet to sort their case of the munchies out I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

Meanwhile the population down wind was quoted as saying......
"Hey man!"
Perhaps the problem is that - the reporter was down-wind?<b><i>He that buys land buys many stones.

But he that buys good beer buys nothing else.</b></i>

Does that mean you are a member of staff at that wonderful publication?!
Thats a great waiver by the way. You might aswell write stories without finding out any of the facts as it would make it a lot easier. You could then just completely misreport a story, wait until the error is pointed out and then say "oh well you know, you get the idea". Infact...can you confirm that is the general policy at the Daily Mail?!0 -

Isn't that how Piers Morgan leapt from being the editor of a small regional* news paper to a global** superstar.

It's all very well destroying the Opium crop in Afganistan but its been forcing up the price of Opiate drugs such as Morphine with a consequential effect on the cost of health care.Do Nellyphants count?

"It's all very well destroying the Opium crop in Afganistan but its been forcing up the price of Opiate drugs such as Morphine with a consequential effect on the cost of health care."
About half the world's crop of pharmaceutical opium is grown here in Australia (in some amazingly unguarded fields in Tasmania) and most of the rest in France, India, Turkey and Spain. Afghanistan doesn't currently have a legal crop (that is, one that's able to be supplied to drug companies to be made into opiates) so destruction of Afghanistan's crop can't be affecting the market for legal opiates as they're entirely separate.

Sorry mate, no I am not a Daily Mail employee. I was speakiing as a much-maligned reader of the DM. Mind you it's not as though the Guardian has never slipped up is it? No, I was just trying to make my point that this was just a bit of a daft bit of reporting which is so un-Mail-like.
But at least it gave the limp-wristed Matildas of this world a much-needed light relief . Must dash now mate, I've left something on a
train at Waterloo.To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity - Oscar Wilde0 -

It wasn't daft, it was moronic. I know someone who actually pointed it out to them and they didn't change it. Clearly they would like to maintain some kind of wierd link between pot and smack.

I suspect you mean "I was speaking as a reader of the much-maligned DM".
A somewhat ironic mistake in an article regarding the use of english!
