Overworked

I noted a small article in this morning’s USA Today (you can look it up if you like) where the head of the DEA was complaing about how overstretched his staff were, with both the Coast Guard and the FBI withdrawing from some joint projects to pursue other Homeland Defense activities and anti-terrorism efforts.

I’m glad to know that, however stretched he is, he has plenty of time and staff to go after doctors assisting ill patients in legal suicides, per Oregon state law. Certainly his boss, Mr. Ashcroft, seems to think he does.
