"Feds Gone Wild" NY Times Condemns DEA And FBI For Ignoring, Covering Up, And Obstructing Investigation Of DEA Agents' Criminal Offenses Such As Cavorting At Drug Cartel Hosted Sex Parties Compromising Entire "Mission"

       Saturday, 28 March 2015, NEW YORK, NY - The New York Times entire editorial board has condemned the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for their routine response or lack thereof to a history of DEA agents' criminal misconduct such as reported here yesterday expanding on a history of DEA agents' criminal misconduct and the virtual lack of consequences to agents for such activities not as to the duplicity of virtually ignoring such conduct effectively shielded by the U.S. Government while other U.S. citizens at home undoubtedly would suffer exponentially worse consequences for such criminal activities, but as to the obvious threat of drug agents completely undermining their claimed mission by exposing themselves to blackmail and extortion and moreover compromising the entire apparent objective of bringing to justice and successfully prosecuting those drug cartels under whose auspices they "cavort" (the Times word which a federal prosecutor certainly would not be nearly so charitable as to use in an "ordinary" U.S. citizen's domestic prosecution).
       For interested readers the link to the Times article follows directly below followed by the comment submitted by the Ninth Amendment published in the Times digital edition. Alternatively or in addition to the Ninth Amendment comment readers may find below it a published comment to the same New York Times article contributed by  a Times commenter identifying themself as having served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for 17 years.

Although the Times editorial board is to be commended for following up on these lightly covered most recently reported incidents of law enforcement DEA drug agents' criminal misconduct effectively taking bribes in the form of sex parties, weapons, expensive gifts and money directly from drug cartels while untold thousands of United States citizens' lives are ruined sitting wasting their lives in prisons for much less "drug offenses", the editorial board of the Ninth Amendment at www.waronnothing.blogspot.com urges that the much larger issue of the spectacular failures of the Nixon-fabricated cynical bogus now forty-plus year "War On Drugs" must be emphasized at every available opportunity as the ceaseless series of unintended negative consequences has steadily grown until it has become a menace not only domestically but now undeniably to global order extending to the point of becoming a most serious threat to the very national security of the United States.

The so-called war on drugs is a colossal disaster...drugs continue to flow into the United States, American prisons are filled to the brim with people convicted of non violent drug offenses, drug addiction continues to destroy whole communities and families, and American taxpayers continue to pay billions upon billions for the army of agents hired to "fight" the drug war, for the room and board of tens of thousands incarcerated for drug crimes, and pay billions annually for medical treatment for drug addiction and the many medical conditions that result from it. DEA agents partying down in South America is just a side show compared to this colossal failure. It's time we treat drug abuse for what it is: a social, economic, psychological, and medical problem. I had a front row seat to this horror movie for 17 years working as an Assistant U.S. Attorney.
