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).

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.
