Drug-Smuggling Pigeon Gets Its Wings Clipped at Colombian Prison Published January 19, 2011 | SkyNews A drug-smuggling pigeon has been captured outside a Colombian prison - after it found its load of marijuana too heavy. The pigeon was attempting to fly into a prison in Bucaramanga, in the country's north-east, with 1.6 ounces of the drug attached to its body. However, the flight plan was thwarted because of the illegal excess luggage - and two policemen were able to catch the bird as it flapped helplessly near a house. "This is a new case of criminal ingenuity," General Jose Angel Mendoza, Commander of Bucaramanga Metropolitan Police, said. "They were trying to smuggle drugs into Bucaramanga prison by using messenger pigeons," he said. Click here for more on this story about drug-smuggling pigeons from Sky News. THE PENTAGON : PROGRAM OF USING DRUG BY THE THE US TROOPS, SINCE THE VIETNAM WAR TO THAT AT AFGHANISTAN NOW. Concerns Raised About Combat Troops Using Psychotropic DrugsPublished January 19, 2011 FoxNews.com As U.S. military leaders gathered Wednesday to give their latest update on the rash of Army suicides, new questions are being raised about a U.S. Central Command policy that allows troops to go to Iraq and Afghanistan with up to a six-month supply of psychotropic drugs. Prescription drugs have already been linked to some military suicides, and a top Army official warned last year about the danger of soldiers abusing that medication. Psychiatrists are now coming down hard on the military for continuing to sanction certain psychotropic drugs for combat troops, saying the risk from side effects is too great. "There's no way on earth that these boys and girls are getting monitored on the field," said Dr. Peter Breggin, a New York-based psychiatrist who has extensively studied the side effects of psychiatric drugs. "The drugs simply shouldn't be given to soldiers." Anxiety, violent behavior and "impulsivity" are all side effects of some of these medications, he said, the latter symptom being particularly dangerous in a war zone. Breggin said that if patients were given these medications in the civilian world and not monitored, it would amount to "malpractice." But Nextgov.com reported that Army leaders and doctors are increasingly concerned that the policy continues to allow combat troops to use everything from antidepressants to antipsychotics to hypnotics, medications they say could impair a soldier's judgment. The swath of active-duty troops on these kinds of medications, according to a June 2010 Defense Department report, was about 20 percent. The article highlighted one particular drug -- the antipsychotic Seroquel -- which the Army has sanctioned as a sleep aid, even though it can't be used to treat troops for the mental disorders it was originally designed to address. A May 2010 military report recommended 25-50 milligram doses of the drug for "sleep disorders" including nightmares. It happens to be the same drug that two Marines back from Iraq were taking before they died in their sleep. Military officials have pledged to rein in the use of prescription drugs. An Army Suicide Prevention Task Force report last year warned about the dangers posed by prolonged and open-ended use of these prescription medications. Following that, Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Chiarelli suggested the duration of prescriptions be limited or at least reviewed periodically to avoid abuse. He reiterated that concern Wednesday during a press conference on Army suicides. He said the Army is working to educate soldiers and members of the public "about the overuse and abuse of prescription drugs." Chiarelli credited military intervention with helping to reduce the number of suicides among the Army's active-duty soldiers in 2010. That number dropped from 162 to 156 last year. He said, though, that suicides among those not on active duty went up significantly. Officials attributed the suicides to a combination of factors, not necessarily stemming from the stress of deploying. In a July report, the military said prescription drugs were involved in one-third of all active-duty suicides. "It's the relationship issues. It may be an individual who comes back and relies on alcohol to a level that he had not or she had not relied on it before. And maybe the person who has -- has a rough time handling the prescription drugs that in some instances are all we know to prescribe for some of these things," Chiarelli said Wednesday. He said the military is doing its "best" to "lower the incidence of prescribing a lot of drugs." The U.S. Army Medical Department and U.S. Central Command could not be reached for comment. Central Command told Nextgov.com that the reason the military allows up to a six-month supply of certain medications is to make sure troops have an "adequate supply." Troops are deploying to regions where well-stocked pharmacies may be in short supply. But Breggin said that when these troops are being prescribed psychotropic drugs, they should either have to deploy without them or stay home. He said the practice only started during the Iraq war and could still be stopped, adding that the suicides are clearly linked. "It's that new, so it isn't necessary," he said. Breggin testified last year before the House Veterans Affairs Committee about the risks associated with the use of antidepressants in the military. His latest book is "Medication Madness: The Role of Psychiatric Drugs in Cases of Violence, Suicide and Crime." Ron Paul: Crotch Groped by TSA, Calls for Boycott of Airlines Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com November 23, 2010 Appearing on the Alex Jones Show today, Texas Congressman Ron Paul expressed his outrage and disgust with the TSA and its unconstitutional naked body scanners and genital groping under the transparent pretense of protecting the American people from terrorists in distant caves. “If we tolerate this,” Paul said, “there’s something wrong with us.” He added that the American people deserve to be humiliated and demeaned by the government if they refuse to stand up and resist. Paul predicted Americans will eventually boycott the airlines to put an end to the intrusive searches and the unconscionable use of dangerous backscatter radiation naked body scanners. “Maybe the Congress will get off their duffs and do something in January,” he said, “and insist we reign in the TSA. Paul said due to pervasive coverage of TSA abuses by the corporate media, the American people are now beginning to ask serious questions about government conduct. “I think it’s a healthy wake-up call to a lot of Americans,” Paul told Jones. “I just hope they can work that in to the whole concept of what’s been going on with our country for a long time – the government is too big and intrusive and abuses our rights and they do the things the shouldn’t be doing and they forget about the things they were instructed to do.” Congressman Paul said in the course of his work representing the people of Texas he has to endure TSA abuse, including the latest “enhanced pat down” that verges on sexual molestation. “I have to go through that all the time because I have metal in my knees,” he explained. “I get prodded all the time and it is disgusting and I tell them so.” When asked by Alex Jones if the TSA had subjected him to an “enhanced” screening, Ron Paul said yes and added that it was disgusting. He said he believes a boycott of the airlines will be necessary if we are going to force the government to back down and stop acting like a sexual predator. “I am going to be doing everything conceivable to try to change these rules because they are not making us safer, they aren’t better for us – it’s just to enhance the power of the state.” TSA BOSS REGRETS: ABCNEWS STAFFER GETS UNDERWEAR SEARCH...

General Wheeler informed his staff: "In the event press inquiries are received following the execution of the Breakfast Plan as to whether or not US B-52s have struck in Cambodia, US spokesman will confirm that B-52s did strike on routine missions adjacent to the Cambodian border but state that he has no details and will look into the question."
