Since it appears, so far, that most of the raids have been on the working places and homes of persons who are important members of the prime minister's B.C. team, it is strange the connection has not been made to the federal Liberals. Also, it appears that the murky world of the drug trade seems to be somehow tied to these individuals who hold important positions in Paul Martin's Liberal team -- and if that tie is proven the federal Liberals, not the B.C. Liberals, could be in very big trouble indeed. Russ Barber, Duncan. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
