The news media has discovered something extraordinary: A whole bunch of opium is grown in Afghanistan. Who knew?
The media is shocked! Shocked I say!

Have no fear!
Bloody Gina, fresh off her successful management of the CIA torture program, has vowed to better manage the flood of opium pouring across our borders.

Good news, everyone! We've got a new strategy for dealing with that narco-state formerly known as Afghanistan.

So I was watching John Oliver do a decent episode on America's opium epidemic. While he did a good take-down of the drug makers, I kept waiting for him to mention the most important element in the epidemic - where the opium comes from - but he never did.
