"Radio commentator Rush Limbaugh says prosecutors are unfairly targeting him with a prescription fraud charge known as 'doctor shopping' because he is a famous political conservative.

"Book claims media showed anti-U.S. bias over Iraq

"Doctors say DEA policy criminalizes legitimate practice"
As I read this I wondered why they were going after doctors and their staffs when the drug problem in America is cocaine and other dangerous drugs that are dealt on the street. And then I realized why. They have lost the war on drugs on the street so they go after doctors because there is a paper trail. It is easier to go after doctors and they can show a success rate that offsets their failure against the real drug problem. As the last sentence of the story reads, "it's just not very safe for doctors to treat pain." And isn't this just a wonderful thing for the DEA to do.
