Who is Spraying the Poppies?

by TChris

Someone has been spraying chemicals over poppy fields in Afghanistan, and the government of Afghanistan isn't happy about it.

"The government of Afghanistan has not authorized any foreign entity, any foreign government, any foreign company, or anyone else to carry out aerial spraying," [Jawed Ludin] said [on behalf of President Hamid Karzai].

The United States denies involvement and claims to have no knowledge of the poppy eradication effort. Are those denials credible when the United States controls the airspace over Afghanistan?
