The claim was that there were open sales of "cocaine, marijuana, LSD, Ecstasy, hallucinogenic mushrooms, opium and marijuana-laced food at Camp Zoe in a Middle East bazaar-like atmosphere where drug vendors shouted sales pitches to passers-by". This with the promotors knowledge and, presumably, consent.

Fascinating (I was also a pilot in a previous life). Looks like the track when you click on an aircraft extends to its present position rather than the 15 minute delay position. Someone told me the other day that they have an IPhone app that, when you point the phone toward an aircraft in the sky above, will give you the same information as this......
