FEATURE ARTICLE (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Prohibition The Bane of a Free and Open Society Police and Law
Enforcement Corruption Rampant by Mark Greer | ||||||||||||||||||||
Sometimes a "picture" is worth a thousand words. This was a very busy
news week on drug policy issues. It is never an easy task to try to
select the 20 or so most important articles for the DrugSense Weekly
and, as our usual editor, Dr. Tom O'Connell, is vacationing, the task
fell to me this week. It was a very revealing exercise. One theme that
really stood out this week was the escalating amount of coverage on how
our country is destroying and corrupting our law enforcement agencies
in our escalating and futile attempt at enforcing the failed concept of
prohibition. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The only absolute "successes" that can be laid at the feet of the drug
war is that it inevitably corrupts law enforcement, increases
incarceration rates, undermines civil liberties, promotes racism, and
increases youthful drug experimentation. | ||||||||||||||||||||
If these are the objectives we are aiming for then the war on drugs is
a monumental "success." | ||||||||||||||||||||
The headlines below, selected from within the DrugNews archive, represent a "picture" that clearly demonstrates widespread and rampant corruption, and these are just pulled from articles added over the past week. Could we imagine a better argument for ending the "war on drugs." | ||||||||||||||||||||

Every drug reformer in the country should scan the headlines of the DrugNews archive every few days. It clearly demonstrates, perhaps better than any other exercise, not only how corrupting, negative, and destructive the drug war is, but how the media has become aware of the fact and how inevitable our eventual victory has become. | ||||||||||||||||||||

WEEKLY NEWS IN REVIEW (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
Domestic News- Policy COMMENT: (1-3) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Both of our future presidential candidates demonstrated predictable
lunacy on drug war policy, but for this week at least the "abject
nonsense" award most definitely goes to Al Gore. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(1) GORE VOWS TO 'INTENSIFY BATTLE' AGAINST CRIME, DRUGS, DISORDER (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
ATLANTA -- Eager to steal a traditional Republican theme, Democratic
presidential contender Al Gore on Tuesday pledged to be the "law
enforcement president" by cracking down on drug use in prisons, hiring
more police, and giving off-duty officers the right to carry concealed
weapons. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
(2) GORE ANNOUNCES CRIME PACKAGE, CRITICIZES BUSH (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
ATLANTA, May 2 - Vice President Gore today proposed a range of
crime-fighting initiatives - from mandatory drug testing and treatment
for prisoners to expanding the number of new federally funded police
officers - and attacked the crime fighting record of his GOP rival,
Texas Gov. George W. Bush. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
(3) GEORGE W. BUSH: THE RECORD IN TEXAS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Putting Faith In a Social Service Role; Church-Based Providers Freed
From Many Rules | ||||||||||||||||||||
CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. - Over the door of one church-based drug treatment
center in Houston, a sign printed in foot-high letters announces: "Drug
Addiction Is NOT a Disease. It's a Sin." At another, clients pass by a
poster of an addict in a hospital bed, ripping IV tubes out of his arms
and throwing his pills in the garbage. An angel hovers nearby, offering
her protection from this plague of prescriptions. | ||||||||||||||||||||
And at a Christian young adult home in Corpus Christi, police recently took the unusual step of arresting a supervisor after teenagers complained that they were beaten and roped to a bed, all in the name of Christian discipline. More arrests are anticipated, authorities say. | ||||||||||||||||||||
These are some of the results--expected and unexpected--of Gov. George W. Bush's "bold new experiment in welfare reform." With his conviction that religious groups can transform lives in ways government can't, Bush sponsored laws in 1997 that allow churches to provide social services their own way, outside the intrusive glare of the state. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (4-6) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Not to be outdone, our intrepid "Drug Czar" has launched the latest in
an unending barrage of weekly horror stories of the week designed to
keep the populace ever fearful of their children coming home in a body
bag. McCaffrey seems consistently and blissfully unaware that it is
the drug war which he so ardently supports that is solely responsible
for the increase in heroin use among our youth. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Meanwhile other "leaders" have come up with a brilliant plan to reduce
meth use: Get rid of that troublesome First Amendment and outlaw those
pesky reform sites that keep corrupting drug policies by telling the
truth. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(4) HEROIN'S RESURGENCE CLOSES DRUG'S TRADITIONAL GENDER GAP (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Teenage Girls Are Increasingly Falling Prey To Narcotic In Purer, 'More
Mainstream,' Sniffable Form | ||||||||||||||||||||
Simona Troisi was a high school freshman on Long Island, at 14 already
a user of marijuana and LSD, when she gave $40 to a friend to score
some cocaine in New York City. The friend returned with a powder that
gave Troisi a sickening high when she snorted it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
(5) AS COCAINE DECLINES, HEROIN USE RISES AMONG SUBURBAN TEENS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
WASHINGTON - While overall drug abuse appears to have leveled off in
recent years, government agencies and treatment clinics say there has
been a startling increase in heroin use among suburban teens in the
last decade. | ||||||||||||||||||||
"Heroin is back, it's cheaper, more potent and more deadly than ever," said Bob Weiner, an aide to White House drug czar Barry McCaffrey. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||
(6) BILL CRIMINALIZES DRUG LINKS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Opponents of a bill to restrict drug-related information on-line are
asking members of the House Judiciary Committee to reject it at a
scheduled vote Tuesday morning. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The panel is set to consider the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation
Act, which makes it a federal crime to publish or link to information
related to illegal drugs or drug advertising. | ||||||||||||||||||||
"You have all sorts of First Amendment problems with that," said Marv Johnson, legislative counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT (7-8) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Raves, Ecstasy and "dance drugs" are generating a great deal of news
in recent weeks. Not only are these the latest handy tool for
diverting attention from the fact that the drug war is failing, but
wild and inaccurate rhetoric puts the fear of God into middle class
households. The problem is that as middle class white kids begin
getting arrested, drug warriors may find the backlash to be much more
than they bargained for. While the articles below are Canadian they
are representative of many similar U.S. stories. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
(7) RAVES HISTORY, LASTMAN SAYS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Mayor wants council to end city-sanctioned parties | ||||||||||||||||||||
The party's over for kids who attend raves at Exhibition Place. Mayor
Mel Lastman said yesterday that he will call on Toronto council next
week to pull the plug on city-sanctioned raves. | ||||||||||||||||||||
"What it turns out to be is a place for drug pushers," Lastman said. "That's where they get known. That's where they sell their drugs." | ||||||||||||||||||||

(8) RAVERS READY TO FIGHT 'ELIMINATION' OF DANCES (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Subculture Has Received Bad Rap, Participants Say | ||||||||||||||||||||
Raves and rave culture have received a bad rap for their reputation as drug havens and corrupters of Toronto's youth, participants say. | ||||||||||||||||||||
And they want police Chief Julian Fantino and Mayor Mel Lastman to know they won't allow them to shut down Toronto's rave scene without a fight. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Law Enforcement & Prisons | ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (9-11) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
As demonstrated in our Feature Article above, corruption, a decreasing
concern for Constitutional rights, and a nearly amazing capacity to
ignore hypocrisy are the ever present symptoms of today's drug war.
Among the most disturbing may have been that Drug Czar Barry
McCaffrey's right hand man in Colombia has been convicted of a cover
up for his wife's drug smuggling efforts for which she just began
serving an extraordinarily light 5 year sentence. An excellent
analysis of this situation was penned and published by Eric Sterling
of the Criminal Justice Policy Foundation. | ||||||||||||||||||||
A close second in issues of importance, however, is the LA Rampart corruption scandal that is representative of an ever escalating incidence of police and enforcement corruption nationwide. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(9) AND JUSTICE FOR ALL (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
The U.S. Sentencing Commission Reported In 1995 That More Than 55
Percent Of Federal Drug Defendants Were The Lowest Level Offenders:
Couriers, "Mules," Bodyguards, Or Street-Level Dealers. | ||||||||||||||||||||
WHEN THE Justice Department cracks down on the shippers of 15.8 pounds
of heroin to the United States, it claims another victory in the war on
drugs and highlight the long prison sentences imposed. When a fellow
drug warrior pleaded guilty to money laundering April 17, he got his
hand slapped. | ||||||||||||||||||||
He was Col. James C. Hiett, the U.S. Army's top drug commander in
Colombia. He is the husband of a woman who sent six shipments of
heroin from the U.S. Embassy in Colombia to a Brooklyn, N.Y., heroin
gang, using the embassy's mail service. He admitted that he laundered
drug money in paying their household bills and that he concealed the
money in his safe at the U.S. Embassy. He admitted he facilitated her
crimes and profited from them. He is typical of thousands of imprisoned
drug co-conspirators. | ||||||||||||||||||||

(10) DRUG-BUSTER COLONEL'S WIFE GETS 5 YRS. FOR COKE RUNNING (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
The coke-addicted wife of a U.S. Army colonel wept on her lawyer's
shoulder and apologized for "destroying" her family yesterday as a
federal judge sentenced her to five years for smuggling drugs from
Colombia. | ||||||||||||||||||||

(11) CONVICTIONS ARE VOIDED IN SCANDAL (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
A Superior Court judge Thursday vacated the convictions of another six
people whose cases were tainted by allegations of misconduct by Los
Angeles police officers implicated in the ongoing Rampart corruption
scandal. Seventy-three felony convictions have been thrown out since
the scandal erupted. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT (12) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Another indication that drug war proponents are not in for much in the way of good times in the near future was demonstrated by the fact that DA's are actually refusing to take new drug bust cases. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(12) TEXAS BORDER DAS PLAN TO STOP TAKING CHECKPOINT DRUG CASES (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
EL PASO, Texas (AP) - For many years, drug arrests at checkpoints on the U.S.-Mexico border have worked this way: Federal agents make the busts, then hand off the smaller cases - usually those involving less than 50 pounds of marijuana - to local district attorneys to prosecute. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Now some district attorneys are backing out of the arrangement because the soaring number of drug arrests is proving too big a burden. | ||||||||||||||||||||
At least four of the eight district attorneys in Texas counties along
the Mexican border say they will no longer take such cases as of July
1. A fifth district attorney, in Laredo, stopped accepting cases in | ||||||||||||||||||||

COMMENT: (13) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
The "Million Marijuana March" seems to be a growing event each year.
Reformers in 80 cities worldwide demonstrated for marijuana law reform
worldwide last Saturday. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(13) MARIJUANA MARCH UNITES ADVOCATES (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
A colorful and noisy collection of medical and recreational pot advocates demonstrated along the downtown waterfront as part of a "Million Marijuana March" planned for 80 cities worldwide Saturday. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Chanting "Hey, hey, DEA, how many homes have you seized today?" and "I
toke and I vote" among other slogans, roughly 200 demonstrators marched
along Cabrillo Boulevard. Wielding signs and banging drums, they
streamed past tourists and cheered as passing motorists repeatedly
honked, waved or pumped fists in support. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (14-15) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Both the Kubby and Baez trials seem to indicate positive news for the
beleaguered activists trying valiantly to force law makers to enforce
the law. The dichotomy of police and district attorneys consistently
in violation of Proposition 215 clearly demonstrate the futility and
inconsistency of drug laws. The Kubby case, in particular, has a good
chance of becoming precedent setting. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(14) THE KUBBY CASE (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Placer County trial of medical marijuana patients Steve Kubby
(former Libertarian gubernatorial candidate) and his wife Michele was
delayed on Monday and will have its fifth judge, John L.Cosgrove,when
it resumes today. | ||||||||||||||||||||

(15) WHY POT PROSECUTORS BACKED AWAY (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Prosecutors never like to fold, but a bad hand forced them this week to
throw down their cards and walk away from their 2-year-old criminal
case against Peter Baez, the leader of Santa Clara County's medicinal
marijuana movement. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Battered by a series of adverse decisions in the local courts, the
Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office had to drastically soften
its position against Baez by the time a deal was reached late Thursday
in the hallways of a Palo Alto courthouse. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (16) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Meanwhile, in Canada, there are ever increasing indications that drug
law reform is moving inexorably forward. The political leaders of our
neighbor to the north seem somewhat more open to sensible reform and
the dishonesty and wild rhetoric so common in the U.S. seems much less
pervasive. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(16) BEST TO REVISIT CANADA'S SILLY STANCE ON POT (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Ralph Klein and Stockwell Day admit they've done it. Senator Pierre
Nolin enthusiastically admits he's done it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
So, too, likely have countless dozens of national, provincial and
municipal leaders in every field from business and politics to
education and even policing, even though not many have the backbone
publicly to admit they've done it. Light up a joint, that is, and yes,
inhale. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||
International News | ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (17) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Perhaps one of the most egregious articles of the week was penned by
Georgie Anne Geyer who, beyond even a modicum of reason, argues that
sending $1.7 billion dollars, Black hawk helicopters and massive
military aid to Colombia is not enough! Mind boggling. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(17) HALF-MEASURES MAY TRAP US IN QUAGMIRE (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
WASHINGTON - Last year, when the Colombian government awarded a piece
of land the size of Switzerland to the country's Marxist guerrilla
movement to use as a safe haven, hard-nosed Peruvian President Alberto
Fujimori telephoned his Colombian counterpart with a delighted
response: Now you have them all in one place and can wipe them out
easily! | ||||||||||||||||||||
But Colombian President Andres Pastrana, an aristocratic-looking former
journalist, was horrified by the words of the wiry, relentlessly
determined Japanese-Peruvian president. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Fujimori had utterly wiped out his brutal guerrilla movement, the "Sendero Luminoso," and he didn't do it with kid gloves. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
I think that the Vietnam analogy is indeed apt, but the danger is not
the one that the critics are charging. | ||||||||||||||||||||
We will do enough to make us look engaged, to mollify our own
consciences and to roil the enemies, but not enough to actually win the
struggle. | ||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||
So, my question is not whether this aid package, if indeed it passes
Congress, is too much, but whether it is too little. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (18-20) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
As usual death and destruction are rampant worldwide as a result of
the war on drugs being fought largely on behalf of U.S. drug policies.
Even in countries with relatively low crime rates, like Holland,
grizzly deaths are becoming more common. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(18) DRUGS GANG TORTURED, EXECUTED IRISH TRIO (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
AN international drugs gang, suspected of having mutilated, shot and burned three Irishmen found in their gutted luxury apartment near the Hague at the weekend, could be holding two other hostages. | ||||||||||||||||||||

(19) TRIO MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED FOR INFORMING (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Positive identification of the three Irishmen who are believed to have
been brutally murdered in the Netherlands may not be established for
some time, according to officials here. | ||||||||||||||||||||
One of the theories police are investigating is that the three, from
the west of Ireland, were killed by major drug-dealers who suspected
one or other of them of passing information to police about drugs
shipments. | ||||||||||||||||||||

QUOTE OF THE WEEK (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||
"The degree to which any free nation attempts to enforce the concept of prohibition of any product or substance on its citizens is the true test of its belief (or lack thereof) in the concepts of freedom, the inalienable rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and an underlying belief that its citizens can determine, much better than the government, what is in their individual best interests." - Mark Greer | ||||||||||||||||||||
