I'm all for exposing Pelosi as speaking with Forked Tongue. But what exactly is wrong with Arianna Huffington calling for the Legalization of Drugs? The Drug War is something that's been going on far longer than the "Terror War". And I think it's fair to say the War on Drugs has ruined the lives of more Americans than our more military wars. I all for a complete ban on torture of any kind. But let's face it, sitting in a steel cage for year after year as the result of personal choices and actions that should have never been against the law in the first place - and were in fact NOT against the law in America from 1776 to about 1905 - is in itself a form of very extended torture. And the torture continues after prison, and for a full lifetime: in lost rights, and especially in being essentially blacklisted from nearly all professional jobs, and from all Fortune 500 corporate jobs at any level. Drug legalization is actually somewhat more important than fixing blame over the torture scandal.
