SCOOTER VS. HERB

Regarding your thoughtful editorial "A Free Pass" [July 7]: It seems 
a little strange that Bush would consider Scooter Libby's 30-month 
prison sentence for the crime of lying under oath to cover up the 
crime of treason "excessive."

It also seems a little strange that Bush has no concern for those 
terms to multi-decade prison terms for the not-so-heinous crime of 
growing or transporting the natural herb marijuana. The natural herb 
that has never been documented for killing a single person in the 
5,000-year history of its use.
