“John P. Walters, President Bush’s drug czar, said the people who plant and tend the gardens are terrorists who wouldn’t hesitate to help other terrorists get into the country with the aim of causing mass casualties...”
Do these folks really believe this s-—? Just from a logical point of view, Why would anyone growing drugs for a mass audience want to decimate their market with mass casualties?
i don’t doubt they’d shoot someone who tried to rip them off, but helping terrorists cause mass casualties is a little over the top, wouldn’t you say?
A while back Walters got taken to court over calling marijuana "poison". The court decided he can pretty well say whatever he thinks will help them accomplish their stated mission - to convince the public to support, and oppose any change to, our current drug policy. I'd consider that fair warning to take whatever they say with a grain of salt.
Did 9/11 "decimate" the drug market?
