LETTER OF THE WEEK

LOST WAR ON DRUGS AND ITS CASUALTIES

When you lie down with dogs, often you will get up with fleas.  Yet 
another in my profession (Megan Mattingly) has been tainted by the 
enforcement of drug prohibition.  Add her to the many, many thousands 
who have been corrupted or killed, or who have committed suicide 
after being corrupted.  And for what? We in law enforcement know that 
every drug dealer arrested is replaced within days.  The nine 
suspects released (or even if they had gone to prison) are meaningless.

A trillion tax dollars spent and 40 years of serious effort have 
resulted in a Maryland free of drugs? No.  Quite the contrary.  Drugs 
are cheaper, stronger and readily available to our teens.

Please tell this reader again why you support this Bridge to Nowhere policy.
