The DEA targets doctors to make up for their own past failures

May 19, 2006

How the DEA is fighting battles it knows it can win:

“If the battles you’re fighting are being lost, then, to win the war, find battles that you can win,” says David Brushwood, a professor of pharmacy health care administration at the University of Florida, Gainesville, and a critic of government narcotics policy. “Doctors are more conspicuous and easier to find than drug dealers, and, besides, they don’t have guns and they don’t shoot back.”

“If the battles you’re fighting are being lost, then, to win the war, find battles that you can win”

Best argument ever for stripping the DEA of real authority.
