LEGALIZE AND REGULATE
Re: "Terrorism of the cartels," by Jill Sandoval, Saturday Letters.
As a retired police officer, I share Ms. Sandoval's concern that
illegal drugs fund terrorism. We in law enforcement are completely
aware after 35 years of a drug war that we cannot even slow down
drugs, let alone stop them. (Meth is an excellent example.)
Legalizing and regulating these drugs would completely eliminate this
source of funding for terrorists, like Osama bin Laden and North Korea.
