% What a mess. (U.S. Gov involvement)

%
% And: when breaking down Bush's budget, enforcement vs treatment,

% exact numbers, it was more than that). This was a reality check
% on Bush's WODs.

% The segment was:
% Headlines: Impact: Did U.S. Authorities Kill Drug Kingpin Pablo Escobar?
% Guest: Mark Bowden
%
% Wait, that wasn't it. It was interesting though. Delta Force is
% coyly claiming they personally shot Escobar. I still have that
% segment on tape, because I wanted to transcribe the discussion
% about the legality of U.S. forces killing furriners.
%
% O'Reilly says there's a law against it, and Bowden corrected him.
%
% There is no law against assassination. It turns out it's just
% a PDD by Bush Sr., who got a legal opinion issued to him that
% if someone is bad for U.S. national security (a totally mallable
% definition), they can be killed.
