Vineland Revisited: Prop 19

[Robin Landseadel]

Federal Drug Numbers Are Garbage, RAND Corporation Finds
from East Bay Express (CA), October 13, 2010
	
	The government is creating its own reality using unverifiable
	sources tantamount to 'a little birdy told me', the RAND report
	shows, calling into question the entirety of the argument for the
	ongoing drug war, which has contributed to the U.S. having the
	highest rate of prisoners of any country on the earth, including
	Russia, North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan.

	“Many of the most-quoted estimates are not documented in a
	manner that allows others to assess their credibility, let alone
	replicate them,” RAND found. “While a number of estimates are
	described as being 'intelligence based' or are released by
	intelligence agencies, this does not mean we should
	automatically give them high credibility.
