WikiLeaks: The five funniest cables about the 'war on drugs'

http://blogs.aljazeera.net/americas/2011/09/04/wikileaks-five-funniest-cables-about-war-drugs


Poring over US diplomatic cables leaked by WikiLeaks can be a dull business - diplomatic jargon and boring posts on consular activities. But like the journalists who read them, the young diplomats who filed the dispatches from US embassies sometimes like to have fun. Here are five of the funniest titles from dispatches related to the "war on drugs".

1) Coke, tokes and inept folks: Can Sierra Leon stay tough on drugs

2) Russia: Nashi summer camp 2008: Sex, thugs and the ROC on a roll (ROC in this case stands for the Russian Orthodox Church)

3) Haiti: Preval on thugs drugs and his health

4) Mexico: Beauty and the beasts: Miss Sinaloa detained with drug thugs

5) Guinea Bissau: No confidence in government, high confidence in drugs
