DRUG-SPRAY ECO-TERRORISM

I was shocked about the latest insanity proposed for the drug war: Spraying
the rain forests of South America with mycoherbicides. This is nothing
short of state-sponsored eco-terrorism. I remember 30 years ago when it was
a different country, a different war and a different poison -- Agent
Orange. We found out how unsafe that was.

Also shocking is the lack of concern on the part of ecology groups. If this
proposal was for our forests in Northern California, the nightly news would
be full of protests from ecology groups. But their silence on this is
deafening. I hope that the governments of Colombia, Peru and Bolivia have
more common sense than the people we send to Washington.
