ABC's Nightline started a 3 part series last night on the war against drugs. abcnews.go.com <<According to various studies cited in Massing's work, providing treatment for addicts is 7 times more cost effective than domestic law enforcement, 10 times more cost effective than interdiction and 23 times more cost effective than attacking drugs at their source. By dedicating more resources to treatment we not only help the individual addicts, but help reduce crime and other problems in communities often caused by drug addicts.>> Last night their guest was Barry McCaffrey, White House National Drug Policy Director. I caught the last 5 minutes of the show. The transcripts should be posted on ABC's web page later today. I caught something about $3.6 million for drug treatment, emphasis on drug treatment in prisions, and a push in Congress to force private insurance to cover drug treatment! <<Nightline explores the idea that we should return to the drug policies of the Nixon Administration, which spent more money on treatment than enforcement.>> Cisco
