Correction - DEA Watch

The trouble with posting from the family homestead is that I'm stealing a few moments to put something up on the blog and don't usually have time to proof it until hours later. So thanks to kaptinemo for pointing out that I misspoke on DEA Watch. It's not a new site at all. They've been spewing that hateful rhetoric over there for years and if you need any more proof about their true motives in the war on some drugs, kaptinemo thoughtfully provides this bit of history from their archives.

As way of background, this was posted shortly after 9/11. "Newly minted DEA chief Asa Hutchinson, in a move which infuriated his underlings, engaged in a debate regarding legalization with then New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson the day before. It was the first and last time a head of an anti-drug organization had ever deigned to do so. Needless to say, Johnson whupped ol' Asa's arse."

"N.M. Gov. Debates Legalizing Drugs with DEA Boss, con't:

Instead of screwing around with Gary Johnson Asa should be making public statements equating community drug dealers with terrorists.
We all know that a good portion of drug money is going to terrorist organizations. Drug dealers and terrorists are one and the same: they both work to undermind our national security. Somebody should tell Asa to leave the debates to ONDCP and start acting like a law enforcement executive. He is missing a good media opportunity to raise the drug war issue. Terrorists and drug dealers are one and the same... or is it only the flower part of the poppy that Afghanistan ships to the U.S.???

As the good kaptin points out, the truly vile part is, "we pay their salaries." Not that anyone ever asked if we wanted to.
