Even after twice reading “House sets tough anti-drug goals” (Main news, Oct. 22), I still couldn’t believe my eyes.

For the House to give even more power to Barry McCaffrey and his drug warriors to attain such impossible goals as cutting overall drug use by 50 percent in four years is pure folly. The drug war has been raging for more than 30 years, and the drug problem is worse than ever.

The Office of National Drug Control Policy has more than proved that its approach to drugs causes much more harm than good, so why does the House insist on supporting this failed office and its failed policies?
