Drug Truth Network updates

The irrepressible Dean Becker of Cultural Baggage checks in with news of new feature at his site. He will begin to offer transcripts of his radio interviews. The first one available is of Dr. Mitch Earleywine and Bruce Mirken.

He also has posted a most amusing email exchange with the ONDCP from when he tried to get John Walters to come onto to his program to defend the war on some drugs. Unsurprisingly, Walters declined the invite, one assumes since there is no defense for this insanity.

Dear Mr. Becker:

Thank you for the information and for your interest in having an ONDCP official on your show. It certainly appears as though you have had some interesting guests on your show. While we will be unable to accommodate your request, we wish well in your future endeavors.

Best, Jennifer de Vallance, Press Secretary,
White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, 202-395-6618

Wonder what Walters really said when he heard about the request.
