"NEWSMAX --Terrorists are smuggling cigarettes in the continental United States and using the profits to attack and kill Americans...
One (military) veteran observed, "They are shooting at our guys using bullets they bought from their cigarette-smuggling enterprises … hey, fewer taxes, fewer bullets, you'd think it'd be a ‘no brainer'." Key word: THINK.
A Special Forces NCO recently returned from Afghanistan and expecting to return to Iraq said: "My dad used to get cigarettes in his C-rations. … I'm getting shot at by guys funded with the results of Rob Reiner's anti-tobacco cops. That's bullshit!" ...
I have been wading through GAO reports and assorted news stories that crystallize an empirical reality the P.C. crowd (and duplicitous governors) have chosen to ignore: Terrorist organizations (al-Qaida, Hamas and Hezbollah et al.) have been actively trading in illegal cigarettes … right here in this country. The money (and it's BIG bucks) from the illegal activity goes directly to funding bad guys killing Americans...
Michael J. Garcia, Department of Homeland Security honcho for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said, "Cigarette smuggling [is] pumping incredible profits into criminal organizations. The number of their investigations has increased about 300 percent since April 2001."
Gee, what has happened in the last four years that could contribute to such an increase? Oh, yeah … government has created a market for bad guys to exploit." (Geoff Metcalf/NewsMax.com 2/14/05)
