2* When Koko says she's selling arms to aid the cause of world peace, though hypocritical, she is being completely truthful. After all, even if you've got a friend (and some people you've kidnapped) doing the hard work [[spoiler: building a quantum computer and then miniaturising it down to a 10 feet box from the size of a multistory building]] would require an astronomical amount of money which she has raised through her illicit arms deals.
3* Pretty much everyone in the series is CombatPragmatist and many are active military or paramilitary (Night Nine and Hex's team) personnel or are retired from the same. A common attitude in the military can be summed up thusly: If you are in a fair fight you've done something badly wrong.
4* While the in universe explanation for why Koko won't accept drugs as a payment for weapons is fine and all. There is also several pragmatic reasons when you think about it.
5** She is a weapon dealer, not a drug dealer and there is nothing that say that she has the contacts necessary to sell the cocaine at a good price.
6** The drug market (unlike the weapon market) is also incredible volatile. What is to say that when she finally finds a buyer, the price has crashed so much that it will in no way cover for the weapons?
7** There is also the question of why they are trading the cocaine to begin with and not sold it themselves. Is it of bad quality or even stolen and are being unloaded on Koko? there is no way to tell either.
8** And off course, her brother would never let her hear the end of it if he found out.

10* When meeting Bookman at Dulles Airport, Koko tells her team that lunch is on Bookman, who has an OhCrap reaction and figures that lunch is going to cost him US$2000 dollars. A normal mealset at a Five Guys burger joint (which is the place in question) will cost about US$10-12, so a rough estimate would be that a meal for ten people (Koko & crew makes 9, plus Hinoki makes 10) would cost between US$120-200. There are thus two questions: How much did they ''eat?'' ''How much did '''Bookman''' eat?''

12* Quite interesting that Koko and Wiley can't enter American soil considering that they're under a FBI blacklist. But since they're in an airport...
13** My guess this would be where their numerous fake passports would come into play. I think it was her brother that bragged about how many fake identities and passports he had earlier in the series. It would be a safe assumption that she and her crew had them also.

16* In the anime, Chinatsu was originally a normal girl who was in an opera house with her parents when he slaughtered the entire cast and audience except her (by accidental survival, not his choice). How she went from her rage and an attempt to kill him during that to her killing skills and psychopathic devotion to him is best not dwelled upon.
