Speaking of editing

Aren't newspapers supposed to have those editor thingies that prevent their columnists from going in Oliver Stone-like conspiracy territory? You know, things like, we never landed on the moon, or flouridated water is a plot to control our bodily fluids, or Elvis is still alive?

If you love those ideas, the Journal Sentinel editors somehow missed Eugene Kane's resurrecting a favorite conspiracy in African American communities: The CIA is responsible for crack cocaine.

For those that are curious, the truth is here and the summary is here. it took me oh, 5 minutes of research.
