Mike Gravel '08

Here is a video discussing the solution to the war on drugs:

Political positions of Mike Gravel.

"Senator Gravel advocates for the decriminalization of the use and possession of marijuana and ending the war on drugs and treating drugs as a medical problem rather than a criminal problem."

“The Constitution is very clear that prisoners of war are the responsibility of the Congress. The Bush administration has unlawfully taken that power without Constitutional justification. The Congress has been derelict in its duty to see that enemy combatants are treated humanely within the guidelines of the Geneva Conventions, and has been equally neglectful in its response to the President’s unlawful use of torture.”
