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.

Some corrupt officials benefits from logging. This is old news this been going on since 1975. Laos forest is down from about 73% to 44%.
