"Sorry, but this reads like Jason Blair and is the NYT afterall. He needs to provide proof he was really there before I'll buy into it"

I think it is prudent to be skeptical about this kind of story, too. An easy one to write, probably happens all the time, who's to know whether it was real people or just ciphers who are similar to real people. Coulda been written in the hotel bar.

And this true story says so much against the argument to legalize drugs.

[SaltyJoe]

This will be a problem for the US since international criminals (read ChiComs) will take advantage of the drug market in South and SE Asia the way Soviets have taken advantage of drugs in South America.

It's the world's problem and the world is worth fighting for. Yes, it's in America's interest and that makes it America's job to support any country to develop the will against drug-induced slavery.

Foolish liberal...... she likes it.

What you say is partly true, although I report every criminal act I see.

The judges in our town don't take prostitution seriously. They do not understand how it corrupts the whole area and is tied to drug dealing.

i am so sickened by people like you who say that it’s not “the U.S’s job”... we are all PEOPLE... human beings. it is all of our jobs to help if we can, in any way we can.
