INVASIVE MEASURES AID POINTLESS DRUG WAR

Your editorial "War on terror aids war on drugs" (March 20) is more of the 
same delusionally simplistic twaddle that continues to enable our country's 
knee-jerk and tragic policies.

If we can't prevent the flow of drugs into our prison gulag, find Osama bin 
Laden, his dialysis machine and/or the CIA operative who met with him in 
Dubai last July, do we really need another bells and whistles X-ray machine 
that "shows every inch of the contour of a person's body"? Is the emperor 
wearing any clothes?

The (we) flower children are still right on: Make love, not war. Peace!
