The March 4 issue of New York Magazine included "The Defense Rests -- Permanently," an article about the imbalance in the criminal justice system between prosecution and defense, available at http://www.newyorkmag.com/page.cfm?page_id=5730 online.

The UN's pre-assessment of opium poppy production in Afghanistan in 2002 has been released, and is available online at http://www.undcp.org/pakistan/report_2002-02-28_1.pdf (report) and http://www.undcp.org/press_release_2002-02-28_1.html (news release). The prediction for opium in Afghanistan under the new government: plenty of it, just like before.

The US Office of National Drug Control Policy has released its annual estimate of Colombia coca cultivation in 2001. ONDCP's findings: more than before, again. Visit http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/news/press02/030702.html to read the ONDCP press release.
