The March 4 issue of New
York Magazine included "The Defense Rests -- Permanently," an article about
the imbalance in the criminal justice system between prosecution and defense,
available at http://www.newyorkmag.com/page.cfm?page_id=5730
online.
The UN's pre-assessment of
opium poppy production in Afghanistan in 2002 has been released, and is
available online at http://www.undcp.org/pakistan/report_2002-02-28_1.pdf
(report) and http://www.undcp.org/press_release_2002-02-28_1.html
(news release). The prediction for opium in Afghanistan under the
new government: plenty of it, just like before.
The US Office of National
Drug Control Policy has released its annual estimate of Colombia coca cultivation
in 2001. ONDCP's findings: more than before, again. Visit http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/news/press02/030702.html
to read the ONDCP press release.
