PODCASTS ON DRUG WAR

Bored by those thousands of songs stored in your iPod? Been wondering
about the latest developments in the United States' war on drugs?
Well, the White House has a deal for you.

The Office of National Drug Control Policy this week began a
"podcasting" service that will allow users of iPods and other
personal audio players to periodically download "speeches, events,
interviews and the latest information regarding national efforts to
reduce drug use in America."

"President Bush and I know that most of the work to reduce the harms
drugs cause to our society is done at the local level," John P.
Walters, director of the office, said in a written statement. "We
hope that by providing relevant and timely information via this new
technology, more people will join us in educating our fellow citizens
regarding the destructive effects of drugs."

Users can gain access to the free service at
