TERROR IN S.F. POT CLUB

Re "Medical pot club is busted in S.F.," Photo, Feb. 13: Mullah John
Ashcroft ascends the minaret on Feb. 12 and proclaims a day of extreme
expected terror, double-plus extra alert. Sure enough, at 6:30 a.m.,
dynamite detonates in San Francisco, blowing the door off the Harm
Reduction Center.

When terror is dispensed at the dispensary in a political assault, can
Kristallnacht be far off? Lead Puritan Bush has loosed his mullahs Asa
Hutchinson of the Drug Enforcement Administration and drug czar John P.
Walters to advance against California, and our state attorney general turns
the other cheek.

Midday, Bush announces another pogrom against drug users, this one to run
for five years, wasting $19.2 billion and thousands more American families.
Promotion of the general welfare this is not.

Wrapping up the day, Mullah Hutchinson delivers another affront to
intelligence and is jeered by the usually polite Commonwealth Club. His
only allies in San Francisco are his security detail.

This war displays the sad victory of capitalism over democracy. How can
they expect anything other than revolt? How insultingly un-American.
Totally legalize cannabis now.
