Uruguay leader calls Colorado pot law 'a fiction'

[Judi Lynn]

19. Had no idea any conversation would take off in this completely incomprehensible direction.

So many DU'ers have known since long ago the fact this man was a rebel against the military/industrial/fascist government running, and ruining Uruguay, the very country which enlisted the U.S. Government's very own torturer, who was hired by Eisenhower's State Department after having been the Chief of Police in Gary, Indiana, to work in the CIA. He had his torture tools brought into Uruguay to use against the members of the rebel group, Tupamaros, of which Mujica and his wife were both members, getting those tools delivered to him in the diplomatic pouches sent to the U.S. Embassy in Montevideo.

He and his wife, Lucia, were both tortured, and spend years and years in prison. He KNOWS about fascism intimately. That's why the people of his country knew he could be trusted to be a decent leader for them, as one of four Latin American former rebels currently serving as Presidents until fascist organizations can find some way to destroy them, too. They are beyond courageous.

It never, ever, occurred to me someone would take the article, which I believed to highlight his comments over a U.S. light-weight attempt to allow distribution over Paraguay's, and run away with it in an attack on Mujica. Jesus H. Christ.

I had absolutely no idea how to approach it to get it straightened out.

Your post is more welcome than rain here! Thank you so much.
