COMMENT: (1) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Finally: Administration acknowledgement that a member of the national
choir has been stubbornly off key. As this newsletter is written the
text of McCzar's letter hasn't been released. Also, the details of how
we're "winning" the drug war should be interesting. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(1) DRUG CZAR REBUTS JOHNSON'S STANCE (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
By Michael Coleman | ||||||||||||||||||||
SANTA FE -- The country's top drug fighter has told Gov. Gary Johnson that drug legalization is "at odds with the views of the American people" and urged him to reconsider his attack on national policy. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Barry McCaffrey, a retired U.S. Army general who heads the Office of
National Drug Control Policy, challenged Johnson's claim that the drug
war has failed and reminded him that governors play an important role
in combating drug use. | ||||||||||||||||||||
"Your publicly stated opinions seem to espouse what could be viewed as
a drug-legalization agenda that would be inconsistent with the goals of
our national strategy and at odds with the view of the American
people," McCaffrey wrote to Johnson in a four-page letter released by
the drug chief Tuesday. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
Rob Housman, a spokesman for McCaffrey, said Johnson's national media exposure has turned him into "the poster child for drug legalization in the U.S." He said Johnson is sending a bad message to kids. | ||||||||||||||||||||
"It doesn't matter if you call it legalization or decriminalization,
it's still irresponsible," Housman said. "If you make these substances
(legally) available in the United States, it means more kids will get
them." | ||||||||||||||||||||
Housman said Johnson's assertion that the national drug war has failed
is "nonsense." | ||||||||||||||||||||

COMMENT: (2) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
During a week that Los Angeles was beset by a drug-related police
scandal of historic proportions, the LA Times also printed a detailed
statement of reform policy by Ethan Nadelmann- a big improvement over
the usual buried response to some warrior initiative. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(2) PERSPECTIVE ON LEGALIZING DRUGS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Don't Get Carried Away | ||||||||||||||||||||
There Must Be A New Approach That Is Grounded Not In Ignorance Or
Fear But In Common Sense. | ||||||||||||||||||||
"So you want to legalize drugs, right?" That's the first question I'm
typically asked when I start talking about drug policy reform. My short
answer is, marijuana, maybe. But I'm not suggesting we make heroin,
cocaine or methamphetamine available the way we do alcohol and
cigarettes. | ||||||||||||||||||||
What am I recommending? Here's the long answer: | ||||||||||||||||||||
Drop the "zero tolerance" rhetoric and policies and the illusory goal
of a drug-free society. Accept that drug use is here to stay, and that
we have no choice but to learn to live with drugs so they cause the
least possible harm and the greatest possible benefit. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
The fact is, there is no drug legalization movement in America. What there is is a nascent political and social movement for drug policy reform. It consists of the growing number of citizens who have been victimized, in one way or another, by the drug war, and who now believe that our current drug policies are doing more harm than good. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (3) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
The good news from New York is that Timothy Egan is again writing
in-depth articles on drug policy for the Times; this one detailing
crack's decline in popularity decisively refutes drug warriors' major
claims of drug war success. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(3) CRACK'S LEGACY - A SPECIAL REPORT (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
A Drug Ran Its Course, Then Hid With Its Users | ||||||||||||||||||||
On a day when Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani went to Brooklyn to tout the renewal of the Bushwick neighborhood, once considered one of the most notorious drug bazaars in the country, Pipo Rios opened a 40-ounce malt liquor and contemplated his business not far from where the Mayor spoke. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Rios used to sell crack in the neighborhood, but street-level drug dealers are hard-pressed to make a living these days, he said. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
But as early as 1989, four years after crack's appearance, at a time
when New York looked to be at its lowest ebb, the fever had broken and
the epidemic was beginning its slow decline. It continued to fall
before and after the major police crackdowns, until it hit a plateau in
the mid-90's where it has been ever since. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Mandatory prison terms and hundreds of thousands of arrests "appeared
to have no major deterrent effect," according to a study of crack's
decline by the National Institute of Justice. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Dr. Lynn Zimmer, a professor of sociology at Queens College, who studied the effects of police sweeps on drug use in New York in the late 80's, said: "Crack would never be as popular as it was made out to be, and people who really understood drug cycles predicted that. There is a natural cycle to these kinds of drug trends. Crack followed that." | ||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (4) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
A sure sign that the drug war is falling out of favor with erstwhile
supporters was this critical editorial in Investors Business Daily, a
source normally even more conservative than its big brother, The Wall
Street Journal. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(4) TYRANNY AND THE WAR ON DRUGS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
In the name of establishing a drug-free society, overzealous police
have too often failed to notice the difference between the innocent and
the guilty. As a result, the war on drugs has gone beyond keeping the
peace. It's become a threat to liberty. | ||||||||||||||||||||
From asset forfeitures to home invasions to military involvement, the
war on drugs has taken disturbing turns. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Among the more recent incidents, a SWAT team broke into a Compton,
Calif., home at about 11 p.m. on Aug. 9. They killed a retired
grandfather by shooting him twice in the back. His widow - handcuffed
and wearing only a towel and panties, according to the Los Angeles
Times - and six others were taken into custody. All were questioned.
None was charged. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (5) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
In a delayed but significant assessment of George W's dilemma, an
important religious source agreed that the controversy won't be put
to rest and offered some advice the candidate almost certainly won't
follow. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(5) FIRST IMPRESSIONS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
True Compassion | ||||||||||||||||||||
It is hard not to conclude, given his recent stumbling about on the
issue, that at some point prior to his 30th birthday Governor George W.
Bush used cocaine. There is no evidence of this, and there are no
charges, only vague rumors which the governor has said he will not
address. Will Bush succeed in halting media and political speculation
on the topic? if you think so, then you have been asleep during Bill
Clinton's presidency. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
Whatever his dealings with drugs, Bush should listen to conservative columnist Arianna Huffington, who has called on him "to prove his compassionate conservatism" by leading the fight against this nation's punitive and destructive drug laws. That would show presidential leader-ship. Dissembling on the subject is merely politics as usual. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Law Enforcement & Prisons | ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (6-7) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Arrest of a veteran narc when eight pounds of cocaine disappeared from
an evidence room ultimately triggered revelations of past misconduct
which now are rocking an embattled LAPD to its foundations. Coverage
by the Times has been extensive- but has so far has minimized
connections to the drug war. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Fortunately, Joe McNamara was ready with an op-ed which made the necessary connections for them. To the Times' credit, they ran it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(6) LA CORRUPTION PROBE INDICATES VAST SCANDAL (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
LOS ANGELES One of the largest scandals in the city's history widened
Friday as investigators took another look at a fatal 1996 shooting and
suggested that evidence in hundreds of other cases may have been
tainted by police corruption. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Los Angeles Police Department, rocked this decade by the videotaped beating of Rodney King and the O.J. Simpson case, hasn't had a scandal this far-reaching since the corruption-ripe days of the 1930s. | ||||||||||||||||||||
It began with help from Rafael Perez, a 32-year-old former undercover
narcotics officer. He is revealing details of crimes on the force in
exchange for a lighter sentence after pleading guilty to stealing 8
pounds of cocaine from a police evidence room. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
(7) PERSPECTIVE ON POLICE (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
When Cops Become the Gangsters | ||||||||||||||||||||
The war on drugs has spawned an ominous form of corruption: protector
becoming the criminal. | ||||||||||||||||||||
It may not be much comfort to Police Chief Bernard C. Parks and the
people of Los Angeles during the current corruption scandal, but the
pattern of small gangs of cops committing predatory crimes has occurred
in almost every large city in the nation and in a great many less
populated areas as well. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
The lure of fortunes to be made in illegal drugs has led to thousands
of police felonies: armed robbery, kidnapping, stealing drugs, selling
drugs, perjury, framing people and even some murders. These police
crimes were committed on duty, often while the cop gangsters were
wearing their uniforms, the symbol of safety to the people they were
supposed to be protecting. | ||||||||||||||||||||
... Sadly, however, these predatory criminals are protected by a code | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
Official corruption will be a major problem as long as we cling to the
present drug policies. The code of silence cannot be totally
eliminated. But the harm to good cops and to society can be reduced if
politicians abandon their demagogic calls for a police war against
drugs. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (8-9) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Apparently, the statute of limitations doesn't prevent law enforcement
from "double dipping" in forfeiture cases. Commendable police zeal was
revealed in a Miami case; too bad it wasn't aimed at protecting
citizens. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Another Miami item follows up two recent airport scandals: they've
started a program to encourage snitching on fellow workers; a
sure-fire morale-builder. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(8) COPS GET $25 MILLION IN SEIZED DRUG CASH WINDFALL FOR MONROE SHERIFF (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office celebrated a $25 million windfall Monday thanks to the incredibly profitable exploits of a former Broward and Miami-Dade marijuana smuggler who revolutionized the business in the 1970s. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
In return for his cooperation, Hindelang received a reduced sentence of 10
years; he served about 30 months. By the early 1990s, Hindelang was a
legitimate multimillionaire in Southern California,.... | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
In 1992, Monroe Sheriff's Detective Charles Visco and Customs Service agent
Linda Hunt, using new and more sophisticated asset forfeiture laws, started
an ambitious money-laundering probe.... | ||||||||||||||||||||

They turned their attention to Hindelang. | ||||||||||||||||||||

(9) MIA WORKERS TO GET REWARDS FOR CRIME TIPS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Under new security measures, Miami International Airport will be like a
Crime Watch neighborhood. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Airport employees will be offered rewards of up to $1,000 for tips leading to the arrest of their colleagues, as part of a push for heightened security after two high-profile smuggling busts at MIA. | ||||||||||||||||||||

COMMENT: (10) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
In Houston, a police homicide, now over a year old, moved a step
closer toward resolution with federal indictments for illegal entry.
The shooting, per se, will go unpunished. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(10) TWO INDICTED IN OREGON CASE (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Federal Grand Jury Says Officers Conspired To Violate Civil Rights | ||||||||||||||||||||
A federal grand jury Monday indicted two of the six former Houston
police officers involved in the shooting death of Pedro Oregon Navarro
on a charge of conspiring to violate his civil rights. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Former Sgt. Darrell H. Strouse, 35, and former Officer James R. Willis,
29, were accused of violating the rights of Oregon and his brother,
Rogelio, to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures when they
entered Rogelio Oregon's apartment July 12, 1998. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
Though Willis and Strouse did not fire their weapons that night, Nugent
and Mithoff said it is clear why they were indicted. | ||||||||||||||||||||
"In view of the fact that it was the illegal entry that initiated the
entire chain of events, I think it's not surprising that that was where
the focus was," Mithoff said. "The other officers would not have been
put in the position they were in that led to this confrontation had the
illegal entry not taken place in the first instance." | ||||||||||||||||||||

Medical Cannabis | ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (11-12) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
There was big news from DC, where a federal judge cited the First Amendment and voided the Congressional ban on announcing referendum results. To no one's surprise, "medical marijuana" commanded 69% of the votes; Congress will have another opportunity to squelch the law and will almost certainly do so; their antics should be revealing. | ||||||||||||||||||||
A judicial development of more durable significance, the Ninth Circuit decision forcing review of the decision to close the Oakland Buyers' Club, received intelligent scrutiny from the ever-dependable OCR. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(11) VOTES ON MARIJUANA COUNTED AT LAST (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Congressional Ban Held Up D.C. Referendum | ||||||||||||||||||||
WASHINGTON (AP) - Almost a year after the balloting, voters in the
nation's capital learned Monday that nearly 70 percent had favored
medical use of marijuana. Votes on their referendum were finally
counted after a judge overruled a congressional ban. | ||||||||||||||||||||
That doesn't mean marijuana is now legal for medical purposes in Washington. Congress will get at least one more chance at the issue. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
(12) A MARIJUANA PRECEDENT (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Whether or not September 13 will one day be seen as the day the federal
policy of marijuana prohibition started to crumble,the decision
delivered Monday by a three judge panel of the 9th Circuit U.S. Court
of Appeals is an important one with lasting effects. The decision is
promising for very ill people whose doctors believe they can be helped
by using marijuana or cannabis. It doesn't clear away all the federal
obstacles to full implementation of Proposition 215, which the voters
passed in November 1996, but it eliminates several of the most stubborn
evasions and arguments that have delayed a policy of abiding by the
voters' decision. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
Monday's decision, in effect, invites California Attorney General Bill
Lockyer to study the decision, then issue a set of guidelines for law
enforcement to recognize the rights of patients who meet certain
criteria to have access to marijuana for medical uses. No new
legislation is required for him to do this. As Robert Raich, the lead
attorney in this case, told us, "the Sword of Damocles hanging over
state officials - that the federal government will stymie any efforts
to implement Prop. 215 - has been eliminated." | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
There is a chance the 9th Circuit decision could be appealed to the full 9th Circuit or to the U.S. Supreme Court. Federal lawyers have been silent so far about their intentions on filing an appeal. | ||||||||||||||||||||
For now, though, the court has effectively invited California officials
to craft guidelines for the use of medical marijuana that will keep the
federal government off their backs. They should accept the invitation
immediately. | ||||||||||||||||||||

COMMENT: (13-14) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Colombia remains quiet, but 2 significant articles described evolving
changes in US policy: the determination of the US to stick with the
drug war, despite increased intrusion of FARC into the criminal market
was outlined by Tim Golden of the NYT. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Plans to beef up Colombian military and adapt strategy and tactics to
minimize the chance of embarrassing 'defeats" were reported by Tim
Johnson in the Miami Herald; he's apparently too young to remember that
the same things were also tried in Viet Nam. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(13) U.S. PLANS BIG AID PACKAGE TO RALLY A REELING COLOMBIA (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
With Colombia's government buckling under guerrilla attacks, a thriving
drug trade and the worst economy in decades, the Clinton administration
is putting together a major new effort to prop up the country's
democracy that will include hundreds of millions of dollars in economic
and military aid. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The aid package, which is expected to be completed soon, will have
large amounts of new military equipment, including arms and
helicopters, as well as more intelligence support and training for
Colombia's army and police units, senior administration and defense
officials said. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
The worsening situation began to command the attention of the White
House this summer, officials said, when an interagency meeting presided
over by President Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger,
turned from a discussion of Caribbean radar installations to the
turmoil in Colombia. | ||||||||||||||||||||
"This is a third-order issue that is going to become a first-order
issue," two officials quoted Berger saying. | ||||||||||||||||||||

(14) COLOMBIA ACTIVATES US-BACKED ANTI-NARCOTICS UNIT (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
BOGOTA, Colombia -- In an attempt to undercut the guerrillas who profit
from the drug trade, Colombia yesterday activated a new anti-narcotics
battalion, trained and equipped by the United States. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Analysts say the new army unit, to be inaugurated by President Andres
Pastrana, signals that the military is taking a more aggressive stance
toward the guerrillas -- and could propel the nearly 40-year-old
conflict into a more violent phase. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
Although it is far too early to claim success, the armed forces say
they have killed or wounded 1,300 rebels in the past four months,
including at least two senior commanders. They captured 2,000 assault
rifles and tons of ammunition, food and gasoline. | ||||||||||||||||||||
And now the military is girding for a strengthened offensive against
guerrilla-protected coca plantations, designed to choke off the income
the rebels earn from protecting the narcotics trade, estimated at $100
million to $500 million a year. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
The withdrawals reduce the chances that rebels can pick off isolated
units as they did repeatedly last year, said James Zackrison, a
Colombia specialist at the Washington-based Potomac Institute for
Policy Studies. | ||||||||||||||||||||
But the new tactic is not without its problems, in effect ceding territory that guerrillas quickly occupy, Zackrison added. Although the armed forces won't confirm it, the military seems to have adopted a tactic of not being drawn in immediately to every rebel raid. | ||||||||||||||||||||

COMMENT: (15) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
There was relief on both sides of the Rio Grande when a long-running
criminal soap opera ended with the apparent suicide of a Mexican
official just before his long-scheduled appearance before a federal
grand jury. | ||||||||||||||||||||
There were no comments about our failure to protect such an important
witness, whether from others or from himself. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(15) DEATH OF EX-MEXICAN OFFICIAL ABRUPTLY ENDS U.S. CORRUPTION CASE (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
MEXICO CITY -- The apparent suicide of Mario Ruiz Massieu, a former
deputy attorney general who faced money-laundering charges in Texas,
has robbed U.S. prosecutors of a witness who could have tied high-level
government officials in Mexico to drug corruption, analysts said
Thursday. | ||||||||||||||||||||
If the drug-related charges filed against Ruiz Massieu in Houston last month are to be believed, analysts said, he took to his grave potentially incriminating secrets, including information about former Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari; Salinas' older brother, Raul; and the Texas banks Ruiz Massieu did business with. | ||||||||||||||||||||
U.S. prosecutors said Thursday that the case against Ruiz Massieu would
be dropped, closing an investigation that lasted years. | ||||||||||||||||||||
