INCURABLE CANCER

Regarding "War on people" (Your Views, May 25): Kudos to Lt. Richard 
Craig. He clearly articulated the considerations associated with the 
insane "War on Drugs." I wish him well in his pursuit of a cure for 
the insanity, but I fear that it is incurable cancer, with roots in 
political corruption, turf protection (would the DBA accept a 
diminished role?), misguided religious zealotry, and the lobbying by 
those with direct monetary interests.
