Drug War A $32 Billion Failure Critique
A Senate Judiciary Committee study in Washington labels the drug war a $32 billion failure under the Bush administration. It cites rising drug-related murders, increased addiction, and reduced federal funding to local law enforcement since the 1989 strategy began. The report criticizes Drug Policy Director Bob Martinez for poor consolidation of anti-drug duties and political patronage. It warns without a re-targeted effort, nearly 250,000 Americans could be murdered in the 1990s.
