Afghan counternarcotics minister resigns

KABUL, Afghanistan --Afghanistan's counternarcotics minister has resigned only weeks after Afghan laborers finished cultivating an opium poppy crop that could exceed last year's record haul.
(snip)
Much of the profit from the country's $3.1 billion drug trade is believed to fund Taliban fighters waging a violent campaign against the government. Officials said Sunday that recent clashes between police and insurgents left 11 suspected militants dead in the south, while Taliban fighters kidnapped a local leader from his home and shot him to death.
Isn't this the place that Osama Bin Laden was training terrorists?
So a record crop of poppies is fueling terrorists where the people who took down the Twin Towers were trained?
Someone explain the logic to me please.
