No shit. This sounds like the DEA overstepping its bounds.

Drugs were supposed to be payment for the nuclear material, which is why it makes sense.
But none of this had to do with America?
The article says the drugs were being sent to the US.
You don't think Americans have business meddling between two completely separate sovereign countries? What are you some sort traitor?
