Report: North Korea ordered its foreign diplomats to become drug dealers

Claim: North Korea sent 20 kilos of meth to each of several diplomats with instructions to sell it and raise $300,000. Apparently there is a pretty substantial official government meth production program, worth hundreds of millions of $$ per year, used to sell to foreigners (including, perhaps unwisely, the Chinese). But it’s breaking out into the North Korean populace as a whole. Famine, despair and methamphetamines: what better combination could there possibly be?
