Default NEWS: DEA will now be part of the National Security Council
Obama to revamp National Security Council: report

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama plans to expand the membership of the National Security Council and increase its authority to set strategy on a wide range of domestic and international issues, The Washington Post reported on Saturday, quoting his national security adviser.

The council, which was established after World War Two to advise U.S. presidents on military and diplomatic matters, would become "dramatically different" after the overhaul, national security adviser James Jones told the paper in an interview.

"The world that we live in has changed so dramatically in this decade that organizations that were created to meet a certain set of criteria no longer are terribly useful," Jones, a retired Marine general, was quoted as saying.

He said sections of the government not traditionally part of the council would be brought in on a case-by-case basis -- he named the Energy Department, Commerce Department and Treasury, and all the law enforcement agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration.

"New NSC directorates will deal with such department-spanning 21st-century issues as cyber security, energy, climate change, nation-building and infrastructure," the Post said.

Jones said the new structure would be outlined in a presidential directive, probably in the coming week.

Hmm...I don't know what it WILL mean but I've been thinking recently that a way to sell the end of the war on drugs might be to reassign the DEA into a homeland security role. I know what you're thinking but hear me out.

The DEA will fight hard to keep their jobs right. Ending the war on drugs ends their jobs. So let them help secure the borders or something along those lines.

I agree with that line of thinking...re-define their role while slowly letting the war end.

Won't the DEA still have plenty to do going after the other drugs? Who gives a fuck what they do as long as pot is no longer on the bad list.

Obama moved to end DEA raids on med states on Feb 5. He's working on it, give it some time. Good weed comes to those who wait

Nowhere does it say "Obama moved to end DEA raids on med states".

I'm sorry but a White House spokesperson making a comment to a reporter about how the President feels on an issue is nowhere NEAR moving to do something about it.

His position was made quite clear previous to this and that obviously had little effect on the DEA who have made at least 7 such raids since he took office. All the guy has to do if he wants this to stop is issue a directive.
