I could only do that if I felt confident that the narcotics
users were going to be remanded to treatment instead of
being sent to jail.

I oppose drug abuse, but the last thing any drug addict
needs is to contract HIV by being raped in prison.

Of all the things I find reprehensible about the Communist
regime in East Germany, its use of informants is among the
least important.  If the end result was that sick people
would get the treatment they need, the list of American
drug abuse "informants" would include every concerned
mother and frightened spouse in the nation.
