It is therefore no surprise to learn from this article that, contrary to our government's claims, "local warlords who are fighting the [Myanmar] government control the [drug] trade in the Shan and Wa regions, where the opium is grown." Covert operations and alliances with such groups would be nothing new for the US. --DB)
