USA uus Drug Czar ütleb, et ‘War on Drugs’ on läbi

(vasakul Joe Biden ja paremal Gil Kerlikowske)

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration's new drug czar says he wants to banish the idea that the U.S. is fighting "a war on drugs," a move that would underscore a shift favoring treatment over incarceration in trying to reduce illicit drug use.

In his first interview since being confirmed to head the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, Gil Kerlikowske said Wednesday the bellicose analogy was a barrier to dealing with the nation's drug issues.

"Regardless of how you try to explain to people it's a 'war on drugs' or a 'war on a product,' people see a war as a war on them," he said. "We're not at war with people in this country."

Terve artikkel.

Lõpus veel eriti hea kommentaar asjale :
Ethan Nadelmann of the Drug Policy Alliance, a group that supports legalization of medical marijuana, said he is "cautiously optimistic" about Mr. Kerlikowske. "The analogy we have is this is like turning around an ocean liner," he said. "What's important is the damn thing is beginning to turn."

kuuldud, loetud samamoodi aga jah... tekitab tõsist "ettevaatliku optimismi"

Esiti - Obama ei eemaldanud keeldu süstalde vahetuse programmilt (kuigi kampaania ajal lubas seda ja nüüd on see ta kodulehelt "mugavalt" lihtsalt ära kustutatud), teiseks "War on Terror" muudeti ka nime lihtsalt "Overseas continuincy plan" või mis iganes sama arvatavasti tahetakse teha "War on Drugs"iga sama.

Nn tohutud sõjalised eelarvekärped mida räägiti usa meedias seisnesid ka selles, et kaitsejõudude eelarve TÕUSIS mitmekümne miljardi jagu
Hmm... mingi huvitav uus matemaatika või värk

Gil pole ka legaliseerimise poolt. Seda ta juba ütles. Ning AINUKE asi mis eemaldab pildilt kuritegeliku osa on just legaliseerimine. Dekriminaliseerimine on mingi vahepealne hall ala kõigest, kus omada võid aga must turg jääb endiselt alles.
