SO-CALLED WAR AGAINST DRUGS STILL IS NOT WORKING
As a police officer who worked the trenches of the drug war spanning
three decades, I heartily agree with views of Edmund Carpenter
("Deadly war against drugs isn't worth the human cost," Dec. 14).
We know (but don't tell the public) that every drug dealer arrested or
shot is quickly replaced. The only way to achieve a country without
drug dealers is to handle these drugs like we do alcohol and cigarettes.
