You Mean, 10,000 Hack Pundits and Moron Comics Can Be Wrong?

The Admnistration's "Drugs Support Terrorism" public service spots last year drew a lot of flak from the righteously indignant.

"Why, that's just paraoid!", they bellowed from columns and blogs and guest chairs throughout the land. Understandable - if drugs were linked to Al Quaeda and other terrorists, that'd mean that all of show-biz, the NFL and NBA, and every high school in America would be in the Al Quada camp.

Guess what?

The United States Navy seized two tons of hashish and detained three men it said had ties to Al Qaeda when it halted and boarded a boat in the Persian Gulf on Monday, military officials announced Friday.

"An initial investigation uncovered clear ties between the smuggling operation and Al Qaeda," the Navy said in a statement.

Pentagon and military officials declined to give any details of the information that linked the shipment or the three men to Al Qaeda, but they said they had evidence that the cache of drugs aboard the 40-foot boat was intended to raise funds for terrorist activities.

Suppose we'll see 10,000 hack pundits and moron comics taking it all back?
