The irony here is amazing! Because they are arresting these "terrorists" and throwing them in the back of an SUV... ya know... one that runs on oil, bought from the Saudis, who paid off some terrorists who flew the planes on 9/11....

You guys coming along w/ me on this one?!

This isn't exactly a new approach, but it never gets any less ridiculous.

Year after year this agency (ONDCP) has lied and misrepresented the image of people that use drugs.

It seems that the Bush administration is willing to deflect their responsibility for their mistakes in Iraq by blaming our citizens as being the terrorists that our soldiers have been fighting in foreign wars. We are proud Americans but are dumbfounded by the foolishness and perceptions of our government.

Why does this country continue to fund this agency? Joseph Goebbels would be proud of the ONDCP!!

All the vile that comes from his mouth is nauseating. I hope more and more people outside of reform learn who he is. I think he reached delusionary status long ago. Reformers are ready and willing to debate this issue anytime, anyplace. He has no ability to persuade, so he must attempt to alarm.

I am above the influence, the influence of drug war propaganda

John Walters isn't on drugs but with a statement like that he should be...Will the tobacco farmer please step forward, your crops are responsible for nearly half a million deaths every year. That statement better not stop our Homeland Security from looking for real "known" terrorists. How the hell can a person in that position make such an irresponsible comment...Oh yeah Bush appointed administration head. Well then there ya go Bush puffed so he aided and abetted Terrorists, and ever single mmj user too. Do us a favor John, keep talking, your dumber than we thought.

Uzz

Walters was the deputy drug czar under the infamous gambler William Bennett during the Bush Senior era. At the time of his appointment to the ONDCP by Bush Junior, John Walters was president of a fascist organization called The New Citizenship Project, an organization that promotes a policy of more religion in government.

Both Walters and Bennett made little distinction between substances such as heroin and marijuana. They emphasized punishment over rehabilitation. They also rejected the idea that drug addiction is a health issue because it makes drug users look too sympathetic. Instead they promoted the old “wages of sin is death” agenda that sought to make drug users into a hated subculture. Walters is quoted as saying, “The health people say ‘no stigma,’ and I’m for stigma.” [From Dan Baum, “Smoke and Mirrors”]

Walters is just another know-nothing religious fanatic who has made his career by hating, scapegoating and destroying people. He wants a fascist government that will do the same, hence his desire to see drug users defined as terrorists. Discrimination, war mongering, rejection of any science that challenges his prejudices, a completely naïve and delusional world view that he wants to impose upon people with infinitely more brains than Walters himself, senseless damage done to people’s lives for nothing—this sounds like a terrorist to me.
