IDIOTIC WAR: Prosecutors in Chicago, Ill., have dropped felony drug
charges against Jose Gal***, 43, and Juan Luna, 21. The two were
arrested after police found 220 pounds of suspicious plants in the back
of their pickup truck -- marijuana, police field tests declared. "These
guys were treated like they were cartel drug traffickers," said their
lawyer. They two were actually hauling hay from a dismantled Christmas
manger scene at St. Wenceslaus Roman Catholic Church, where they are
members. The men sat in jail for the four weeks it took for lab tests
to confirm the plants were indeed hay, not pot. Even though they have
now been exonerated, they remain in jail while officials confirm the
men are legally in the U.S. (Chicago Sun Times) ...War on Drugs Rule

IDIOTIC WAR II: A woman with incurable brain cancer presented Walgreen's
Drug Store in Tacoma, Wash., with a refill prescription for her pain
medication. The pharmacist called the Washington Medical Center to
verify it, but was told the doctor was out -- so he called the police
to report what he thought was a "faked" prescription. Shannon O'Brien,
35, was arrested even though she told the officer she had brain cancer
and had a medical information card in her wallet. "They could have
checked my records," she said. "I've had the same medicine every
month." She was released hours later after her doctor confirmed the
prescription, but she was required as a condition of her release to go
to drug counseling. She is suing the store. (AP) ...Yet another
civilian casualty of the War on Drugs.

Oh my lord!
