Conservatives are just learning, thanks to The Washington Times, what John Kerry warned about in 1997. The Washington Times reports:
Islamic extremists embedded in the United States — posing as Hispanic nationals — are partnering with violent Mexican drug gangs to finance terror networks in the Middle East, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration report.
“Since drug traffickers and terrorists operate in a clandestine environment, both groups utilize similar methodologies to function … all lend themselves to facilitation and are among the essential elements that may contribute to the successful conclusion of a catastrophic event by terrorists,” said the confidential report, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times.
The 2005 report outlines an ongoing scheme in which multiple Middle Eastern drug-trafficking and terrorist cells operating in the U.S. fund terror networks overseas, aided by established Mexican cartels with highly sophisticated trafficking routes.
If this comes as anything surprising, I’d suggest checking out The New War, a book written by John Kerry in 1997 which dealt with money laundering from drug traffic helping finance terrorism.

I’m sure that’s why “decriminalization” was considered a “talking point” of his campaign…
Meanwhile, he’s currently a “Leading” member of the “majority” party in both Houses of Congress… I would think he might try to introduce some legislation with the support of his ideological comrades.
