In our article last week, "While Reformers Brood, Politicos Make Drug-Terror Connection," the Week Online devoted a parenthetical paragraph to pointing out various connections between drug trafficking and armed political formations. In mentioning the situation among paramilitary organizations in Northern Ireland connected to the drug trade, DRCNet erroneously mentioned the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC).

The RUC is the official police force for the province and has not been linked to drug trafficking. DRCNet instead meant to list the Ulster Defense Forces (paramilitary Loyalists), who have been linked to Scottish drug traffickers.
