EDITORIAL WAS ON THE MONEY

To the editor:

Congratulations, and thanks very much for the fine editorial about U.S. 
involvement in Colombia ("Rethinking Colombia: U.S. should reconsider its 
war on drugs," May 13).

Everything you said was right on the money. It is a very pleasant surprise 
indeed to see a paper such as yours to utter the very simple truth that you 
did.

If the U.S. government wants to end the connection between terrorists and 
drug trafficking, repeal the drug prohibition that makes that connection.

Richard Sinnott,

Fort Pierce, Fla.
