The Obama administration's new drug czar says he wants to banish the idea that the U.S. is fighting "a war on drugs," a move that would underscore a shift favoring treatment over incarceration in trying to reduce illicit drug use.

The Drug Truth Network (DTN) is a media production organization, based at KPFT Radio Houston, dedicated to exposing the fraud, misdirection, and wastefulness of the "war on drugs."

SWAT teams are completely out of control in the US with more than 50,000 raids per year, most for low-level drug crimes.
