US drugs prosecutors switch sides to defend accused Colombian traffickers

“US prosecutors and other senior officials who spearheaded the war against drug cartels have quit their jobs to defend Colombian cocaine traffickers, saying their clients are not bad people and that United States drug policy is wrong.  Senior former assistant US attorneys and Drug Enforcement Administration agents are turning years of experience in investigating, indicting and extraditing narcos to the advantage of the alleged traffickers they now represent.  Feitel and Klapper spoke of recognising the humanity of their clients and called for alternatives to a four-decade-old ‘war on drugs‘ which costs billions of dollars and incarcerates thousands.”
