Pubdate: Sun, 04 May 1997 Source: Spokesman-Review, Spokane (WA) Author: Tom Hawkins Drug Warrior Owen Doubly Wrong I see Lt. Governor Brad Owen is at it again. It wasn't enough for him to be printed state wide ranting against Dr. Rob Killian's medical marijuana initiative. Now, he is crying about the proposed cuts in using the National Guard against American citizens. Unlike our prohibitionist lieutenant governor, I am glad that cuts are being made in the use of our National Guard in the Drug War. National Guard resources are meant for protecting the people, not fighting them. History shows that when the Guard is turned against Americans a horrible tragedy often takes place. When will Owen realize that attacking people in the name of the War On Drugs is wrong? Enough! The people are tired of war lust. Sincerely, Tom G. Hawkins Grand Coulee
