DRUG CZAR ANTI-POT, PRO-BUREAUCRACY

Kudos to Steve Sebelius for his outstanding story: "Democracy In Peril" 
[March 18]. I'd like to add that John Walters is essentially the head 
cheerleader for the drug war bureaucracy. Like all bureaucrats, his goal is 
the continuation and expansion of his bureaucracy. All bureaucracies want 
more power and more money. The drug war bureaucracy is no exception.

What Walters and other drug war cheerleaders fear is that the legalization 
of marijuana will lead to the legalization of other recreational drugs, 
which will become a gateway to the unemployment of many drug warriors.
