We've been informed that
this Sunday, March 3, Sixty Minutes will feature the case of Dr. Robert
Weitzel, a pain doctor in Utah targeted by a prosecutorial witch hunt.
TV magazines are notorious for last-minute schedule changes, but barring
that possibility there should be an interesting discussion.
Visit these back articles
from August on the Weitzel case:

The Ogden
Standard-Examiner ran an article today previewing the Sixty Minutes
report.
Last week DRCNet reported
that the Libertarian Party intended to run newspaper advertisements parodying
and responding to the federal government's drug use-terrorism ads (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/225.html#lpadcampaign).
The ads did in fact run this week, in the Washington Times and USA Today
on Tuesday, February 26. If you can't find a copy of the papers (well
worth cutting out and sticking on the wall), you can still check them out
at http://www.lp.org/drugwar/
online.
