UK Heroin Shortage, Russian Drug Seizures, Obama in Lisbon
The Guardian reports a severe heroin shortage in the UK caused by a fungus blighting the Afghan poppy crop rather than law enforcement success. Simultaneously, Russian drug czar Viktor Ivanov announced a major seizure of heroin labs on a trafficking route into Pakistan. President Obama's absence from the domestic TSA debate is noted, as he was attending a summit in Lisbon, Portugal during the holiday.
