Dadonfire recently editorialized Drug Czar Kerlikowske’s October Address to America’s law enforcement leaders. We viewed his speech as continued support for a failed drug war. Our counterpoint was punctuated Monday, Nov. 1st by news that one million Mexicans are working in the drug trade to supply our eight million addicts. That’s an industry 4 times larger than General Motors. This doesn’t speak of a winnable war. On Oct. 29th, the LA Times published a great piece called Mexico Under Siege. You can also download a 2008 PDF file: Mexico’s Drug Cartels to see the same information presented to your congress. Links by Mary Slivinski
