It is interesting that your newspaper's respect for McCaffrey had led
to your emulating his strategy for drug use prevention: contorting the
facts until they say what he wants them to say.

Believe it or not, the countries with the harshest anti-marijuana
laws also have the highest percentage of young users; Ireland is the
best example, where marijuana use among teens is almost three times
that of Holland.

You refer to McCaffrey as a "real leader," when in fact he is a man
desperately fighting a losing war on drugs which has led him to using
increasingly ridiculous "statistics" to get his message across, a
message that only gets harder to swallow when it is delivered by a man
who is a liar.
