White House: DEA is out-of-control rogue agency

In today’s Washington Times

The White House said it expects those kinds of raids to end once Mr. Obama nominates someone to take charge of DEA, which is still run by Bush administration holdovers.
‹The president believes that federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws, and as he continues to appoint senior leadership to fill out the ranks of the federal government, he expects them to review their policies with that in mind,” White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said.

Bruce Mirken says:

While more ringing language might have been nice, the intent is clear enough: Hey DEA, the president says it‰s time to stop attacking the sick. Got it?
