Title: Vietnam army smuggling timber in Laos
Post by LLXE on 29th Jul, 2011 at 8:49pm
The Vietnamese army is playing a key role in smuggling wood from the jungles of Laos, a multi-million dollar activity that threatens millions of livelihoods, a new report said Thursday.
Hanoi denied the claim of the London-based Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA), which said its undercover operations revealed one of the biggest loggers in Laos to be a company owned by Vietnam's military.

How the hell do they know this is really happening?  (Don't trust the Siamese!)

Under what guise are these reporters entering Laos in?

I'm sure the Lao government don't won't allow this kind of exposé.
