Hi Don,

Re: Something else I've noticed is the "war on drugs" doesn't seem to be even a talking point for most politicians these days

Here in Oregon, the taxpayers are waking up to the fact that their overzealous embrace of the prison-industrial complex in the 1990's is getting awfully expensive to maintain.

It is going to be interesting to see the clash of values created by John Ashcroft's ongoing campaign to punish lenient judges vis a vis the taxpayer who is getting punished financially to pay for all that state subsidized housing for folks who are to serve the long, mandatory (and expensive) sentences.

Re: I'd like to see the press start digging into the chemical and biological claims as well.

Don't hold your breath. Come September, when Sen. Levin's Permanent Investigations Committee will meet and expose drastic malfeasance and daring lies from the Bush Cabal, the news media will be swooning over Ahhh-nold, the Viennese brat-worst. Levin's committee hearings will become a titillation for the C-SPAN junkies and the inside-the-Beltway crowd, but the Pox News and their ilk will make certain to deploy their weapons of mass distraction on the dimmed-down populace.
