Drug War Casualties

Some good—albeit heartwrenching—press for Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM) in this week's LA Weekly. FAMM agitates for changes in unduly onerous federal drug sentences. The Weekly tells some blood-boiling stories—it's always worthwhile being reminded of the real destruction caused by the fed's criminal "war." (Full disclosure: Before she founded FAMM, its president, Julie Stewart, was my first boss in the libertarian policy world back when I first began interning at a D.C. think tank.)
