The Drug Enforcement Administration's hyper-inflating bust figures harken back to my time in Vietnam when officers told us to count any dead Vietnamese, man woman or child as an enemy killed in action to look good for the higher-ups and the politicians. Same government, just a different corrupt agency. As long as we insist on this endless "war," it will never change. John McKee, Columbia Falls, Mont. - --- MAP posted-by: Terry Liittschwager
