Christopher Cox (R-Calif.) is truly shocking. Perhaps if our government wasn't engaged in a drug war against its own people for the last 20-plus years, locking up tens of thousands of non-violent drug offenders, destroying families, persecuting medical marijuana users and committing similar atrocities, it might have had the resources to stop the theft of our most important military secrets. It is obvious that the true threats to our national security come from our own government officials and abroad, not from our own people. Gary Storck Madison - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
