Re: Drugs: Wouldn't it be interesting to know exactly which "reporters" in both the world and the US press have used what drugs, and for how long? In a way, its rather funny....So many of the 60's and 70's "kids" said drugs were "no big deal," and went on to use them for varying lengths of time. In fact, some of those same generation of folks continue to use them to this day (Hunter S. Thompson for example, and any number of others in Hollywood, etc)....They continue to tell us "it's no big deal..." Even if most of us know that it IS a big deal after all....not only for their own health (HepC, and all sorts of examples), but also the health and perhaps even the lives of citizens in their communities. Look how many murders and other violent crimes are committed while people are under the influence of drugs.... I expect there are quite a few reporters/journalists/columnists and their editors and publishers who fit right into this group of Early and Later Boomers (those born from 1946 thru 1964.) And that goes for the World Media as well.

If the big-name newspapers had played up the drug angle it's reasonable to assume that Republicans and conservatives on talk radio would renew such accusations. So what does the WaPo do? They run a "story about the story," and then they can say, "who, me?" Cute.
