DRUG PROHIBITION FUELS CRIME

Regarding "DEA's museum exhibit shows dangers of drugs," [metro
story, Aug. 11]: The crime factor isn't due to drugs but rather drug
prohibition -- the same way there was a crime factor due not to
alcohol, but rather alcohol prohibition.

As Al Capone's history in Chicago exposes, the original Prohibition
was bad; the sequel is worse.
