Dan Forbes has done it again
-- this time he uncovered a past marijuana bust in Missouri of John Ashcroft's
nephew -- while Ashcroft was the governor of that state -- in which the
nephew received leniency multiple times while others went to prison for
growing less. Also by Forbes, a report on the New Mexico Drug Policy
Advisory Group's recommendations, both in Salon.com:

and search the site to read much more such reporting.
