DEA director says drug war won’t fall behind war on terrorism

June 10, 2002 By admin

The director of the Drug Enforcement Agency says the nation’s war on terrorism won’t supercede the war on drugs.D-E-A director Asa Hutchinson says there’s a direct connection between the drug trade and terrorism. Hutchinson was in Des Moines today to talk with officials about Iowa’s continuing problem with meth. Last week, the F-B-I announced four hundred agents would be re-assigned from drug enforcement duties to counter-terrorism. Hutchinson says that means the D-E-A will step up its efforts. He says they understand the connection between drugs and terrorists. Hutchinson’s agency recently bought time on t-v networks for an advertisement which said those who buy illegal drugs are supporting terrorists. Hutchinson was joined at today’s news conference by both of Iowa’s U-S Senators and two Congressmen.
