Subject: Re: cj#380> Police veteran lambasts drug laws

      Ex-San Jose Police Chief Joseph McNamara sez:

   <Well, one thought that we had was, suppose we could get the law
   enforcement community to say to the politicians, as we finally got them
   to say on the issue of gun control, look, help us, we need help.>

Bullshit alert!  Any politician (and the former chief of San Jose was quite
a politician) who advocates gun control as a solution to the "crime problem"
cannot be trusted on any other issue.

And that is exactly what he did,  and what he does.  This is bulldata.


cordially,

Dan Terry

I overheard from some acquaitances in the trading business a conversation
about this same thing refering to a guy they told me was an Iraqui agent.

I think the writer of this article should focus a bit more into what he
wants to do with the information he have. He can editorialize and expose
the facts within the perspective of his informed judgement or he can  do
a more objective journalism, inform and let the readers judge by
themselves.

If he try to make both without telling the readers, he may lose
credibility and otherwise interesting information could be taken with a
grain of salt.

Anyway, I think his information is appreciated.

Interesting thread you got there. Seems like history is usually (but not
always) written by the winners. And the only difference between a patriot
and a terrorist is who has the last word. What do you think?

So let us take back the party that is ours, rather than abandon
it only to organize a well-intended footnote in political history.

Many complements on the diagnosis. Many complaints on the prescription.
