On the East Coast, Ashcroft announced that the US is on its "highest state of alert" for terror attacks.
On the West, the DEA led an armed raid against a medical marijuana facility in San Francisco, arresting four people, stealing 600 marijuana plants, and depriving California's ill of their medication. Which story made it to the front pages? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2002/02/13/national0527EST0499.DTL <quote> San Francisco District Attorney Terence Hallinan has been outspoken in his support of such clubs, and Police Chief Fred Lau has said his officers wouldn't take part in any raids.
