War on drugs a loser in the 30 year drug war
The author argues the US drug war is failing as Carlos Lehder, a Colombian cartel figure, serves as a star witness against Manuel Noriega after a questionable deal with prosecutors. He questions the necessity and ethics of Lehder’s testimony, condemns Bush’s actions, and calls for legalization while keeping Lehder jailed as a reminder of the war’s flaws.
