FOCUS ON REHAB

According to Robert Novak [column, June 24], U.S. diplomats are urging 
congressional Republicans to steer clear of alienating Colombia's 
controversial president-elect Alvaro Uribe.

Given the United States' failed war on drugs in Colombia and elsewhere, the 
U.S. diplomats should think more about ending the alienation of more than 1 
million U.S. citizens who are still waiting for one of the coveted spots in 
a drug-rehabilitation clinic.
