Jack: We probably agree on a great many things that our friend X would have attacks over! Everything you said I agree with. (BTW, whatever happened to double jeopardy. Remember that principle of law? Got lost along the way somehow, didn't it?) As for the DEA. Their horror stories abound. In California there was the case of the man who lost his home, cars, and all possessions to government auction. Then was found innocent -- but the federal government REFUSED to reinstate any of his property!! Another horror: in the early 90s DEA agents broke into a mansion of an elderly millionaire and his wife in Malibu Canyon. He met them with a gun thinking they were intruders. They opened fire and shot him to death. He died in his wife's arms on a stairway. The agents were never punished, just re-assigned. The widow is still involved in lawsuits against the federal government. Care to wonder how many more years (decades?) that case may drag on? Oh yeah, almost forgot -- they broke into the wrong house! (Where have we heard that before?) Father Terrence
