Blackwater vs Medijuana?

In most administrations, you'd dismiss this as paranoid stoner fantasy. With Bush-Cheney, you never know. The raid itself was a disgusting assault:

According to the Los Angeles Times, witnesses described the DEA agents as "removing computers, medicine and money, and using a steel cylinder battering ram to get into the upstairs bedrooms." When they left four hours later, all that remained was "trash, counters strewn with open and empty glass jars, piles of receipts thrown on the ground, upturned couch cushions, bits of marijuana on the edges of counters and an ATM with its doors torn open and emptied. ... An outdoor vegetable garden had plants uprooted, along with marijuana plants removed by the agents."

One reason to back Obama. He has said he will end this insanity.
