DEA exhibit emphasizes illicit
drug sales support terrorism
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) —
Attorney General John Ashcroft
and former New York City
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani helped
open a museum exhibit Tuesday
intended to show Americans that
buying illegal drugs can support
terrorist attacks.
The exhibit, titled “Target
America,” includes Sept. 1 1
rubble from the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon. It is
housed at a museum in the Drug
Enforcement Administration's
headquarters.
DEA Administrator Asa
Hutchinson said the exhibit
aims to educate Americans
about the role drug money has
in terrorism.
“Before terrorism hit home
on Sept. 1 1, few Americans real
ized the connection, and fewer
still understood that drug money
has been used to fund terror
ism,” Hutchinson said.
Attorney General John
Ashcroft said, “Terrorism and
drugs go together like rats and
the plague. They thrive in the
same conditions, and they feed
off of each other.”
The exhibit, supported by
$650.(XX) from the DEA budget
plus private financing from
donors, will go on nationwide
tour next year.
It includes photographs from
Afghanistan that outline connec
tions the al-Qaida terror network
and the Taliban militia.
Afghanistan's former rulers,
have had to drug trafficking. An
interactive map illustrates that
some reputed opium sellers and
distributors support the Taliban.
The rubble from the World
Trade Center sits as part of a
replica of the ruins left after the
towers fell. Another section of
the exhibit is devoted to explor
ing the history of the “narcoter
rorist,” the Bush administra
tion's label for drug runners who
support groups like al-Qaida.
Since Sept. 11, the war on
drugs has taken a lower empha
sis to the war on terror. In June,

“This is a sad exploitation of
the memories of the 3.(XX) peo
ple killed Sept. 11.” said Bruce
Mirken. a spokesman at the
Marijuana Policy Project. “We
felt it was important to tell the
true story: It is the war on drugs
that funds terrorism by driving
up drug profits and forcing the
drug trade underground.”
Federal authorities have
recently amassed what they say
is hard evidence of connections
between drugs and terrorism,
uncovering an illegal drug
operation in the United States
that was funneling proceeds to
Middle East terror groups such
as the Lebanon-based
Hezbollah.
