They are just an armed gang now. The type of people entire societies have revolted and toppled regimes over. In the article they gush over the possibility of another terrorist attack to undo these reforms. You KNOW some of them will stage or incite an attack just to get more homeland security dollars in their greedy pockets. I know the solution...legalize ALL DRUGs so they don't have an incentive to do this and fleece the American People with their criminal Drug War...then they can focus on all these terrorists we have never seen here.
