Matthew Green | Reuters | 5 September 2012

"Few in Pakistan or abroad know the country is home to a suspected
  major player in a $68 billion global opiates industry that has claimed

David Spiegelhalter | BBC | 4 September 2012

Kevin Carey | Washington Monthly | 1 September 2012

  gate. When will they break through? [15]Comments

Miguel Nicolelis | Scientific American | 29 August 2012
