Re #18 It is true that hard-core addicts may not be useful. Those who got picked up may have short life span as a soldier, too. But during this time, they can do a really dangersous assignment with daily drug of choice as inducement.

I think there are probably enough nut-jobs of other descriptions and motivations to get the jobs done. They seem to have taken care of enough of us lately, without drugs. Anyway, these people are messed up in the mind on this stuff, are unreliable, and, under pressure, will simply take any amount they are given, once they are out of sight. I have met trained people I would fear much more that any drug addict. Logistically, they need a monitor....but if you give them a few bucks, they'd buy more on the streets to suppliment their allotment...especially if nervous, and end up on a ghetto mattress on launch day, anyway. Please excuse me now....I think they changed the frequency again, and I have to add some modifications to my tinfoil hat.
