(CNN) -- Bolivian police have seized a massive stash of cocaine diluted inside hundreds of wine bottles, state media reported Thursday.

Authorities believe the $2 million worth of diluted and solid cocaine is tied to a drug trafficking organization that made shipments to Italy, the state-run ABI news agency said.

Police said they arrested a Brazilian suspect in a raid in a residential neighborhood in the city of Santa Cruz.

The man tried to kill himself with a pocket knife when authorities cornered him, according to ABI.

...since they threw the DEA and the corrupt, murderous, failed U.S. "war on drugs" out of their country.

Well, not so amazing, I guess.

That sounds logical.

The sky's the limit when you start thinking in those terms.

What about complaints about right-wing posters who simply put their disrupting posts where the sun "don't shine" instead of spewing them into conversations at D.U.?

I have no comments about complaints about right wing posters and the rest of that nonsensical statement. Are you getting alot of complaints about right wing posters? Maybe you should direct the complainers to DU administrators.
