QUESTIONS DRUG WAR

To the editor:

Major kudos to Arthur Cannon for his outstanding op-ed, "Two myths of 
the drug war" (March 9). If you or I were facing several years in 
prison for possession or sale of illegal drugs, and we were told that 
we could substantially reduce our prison sentence by naming a 
co-conspirator, would we likely name our best friend or worst enemy?
