Ok, all this shit is right from the Wikipedia page on the DEA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_Enforcement_Administration

You should really read it if you have time, if you dont, here's the interesting shit, I try to quote so it's not misleading either, but it will really sound like i'm trying to slam them

Trying to get a job with the DEA? Well, fuck you too:
"Applicants who are found, through investigation or personal admission, to have experimented with or used narcotics or dangerous drugs, except those medically prescribed, will not be considered for employment with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Exceptions to this policy may be made for applicants who admit to limited youthful and experimental use of marijuana. Such applicants may be considered for employment if there is no evidence of regular, confirmed usage and the full-field background investigation and results of the other steps in the process are otherwise favorable.^[5]

The DEA's relatively firm stance on this issue is in contrast to that of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is considering relaxing its hiring policy on drug use.^"

DEA IS USELESS:
"In 2005, the DEA seized a reported $1.4 billion in drug trade related assets and $477 million worth of drugs.^[6] However, according to the White House's Office of Drug Control Policy, the total value of all of the drugs sold in the US is as much as $64 billion a year^[7], making the DEA's efforts to intercept the flow of drugs into and within the US less than 1% effective. Defenders of the agency's performance record argue that the DEA has had a positive effect beyond their relatively small annual seizures by placing pressure on traffickers, raising prices for consumers which, it is hoped, may reduce the affordability of drugs. Critics of this theory (including the Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman) point out that demand for illegal drugs shows little price sensitivity; the people who are buying drugs will continue to buy them with little regard to price, often turning to crime to support expensive drug habits when the drug prices rise. One recent study published in the The Atlantic lending credence to the criticism shows that in every major US city, from New York to Los Angeles, the price of street cocaine has dropped."
REALLY?!?! I mean jesus, donate the money to cancer research or something?? Or to NASA, they might not do anything useful on Earth, but kids at least dream about becoming an astronaut,... not fighting a loosing war on drugs.

OK, I've accepted the fact that the DEA is useless, but come on...
"DEA was accused in 2005 by the Venezuelan government of collaborating with drug traffickers, after which Hugo Chávez decided to cut off any collaboration with the agency. In 2007, after the State Department criticized Venezuela in its annual report on drug trafficking, the Venezuelan Minister of Justice reiterated [restated] the accusations: "A large quantity of drug shipments left the country through that organization,...[]..We were in the presence of a new drug cartel."^[15]
In the Netherlands both the Dutch government and the DEA have been criticized for violations of Dutch sovereignty in drug investigations. According to Peter R. de Vries, a Dutch journalist present at the 2005 trial of Henk Orlando Rommy, the DEA has admitted to activities on Dutch soil. Earlier, then minister of justice Piet Hein Donner, had denied to the Dutch parliament that he had given permission to the DEA for any such activities, which would have been a requirement by Dutch law in order to allow foreign agents to act within the territory ^[16]."

I mean if you're not gonna do anything useful with taxpayer, hard-earned dollars, dont go doing illegal shit! This really makes me sick to the pit of my stomach.

Is there one other single organization that's as useless as the DEA?? I mean, the Video Club I started in high school was more productive than that, we got something done and actually made money back while doing it.

I'll stop here, I could really go on for hours with this shit. I think I legitimately HATE the DEA, it's pretty much the enbodiment of everything illegal. They violate human rights in the US and Internationally as well. Good going Karen, I really hope you loose your job. Another Side Note: http://www.10news.com/news/10205181/detail.html
