Diego Montoya, a reputed major Colombian drug trafficker and mass murderer was captured yesterday.
If what he is accused of is true, then I join the drug czar in celebrating his arrest.
However, unlike the drug czar, I understand that it is United States drug policy that created the conditions for a Diego Montoya to emerge and that the same drug policy will create a vacuum after his capture that will encourage the development of future Diego Montoyas.
And, as Alex says, why are we giving Diego Montoya the power to be the FDA of recreational drugs?
