		<description>&lt;i&gt;Greenwald might also be surprised to learn that there are still people around who think someone should be thrown in jail for ingesting herbs of one kind or another into his body, or for buying and selling those herbs to other adults.&lt;/i&gt;

I doubt that. He's very libertarian in any number of ways, and has written vehemently against the "war on drugs," as well as the prescription drug system. He wanted to know why a lawyer (properly) cannot coerce his/her clients to follow the lawyer's advice, but a patient is not permitted to tell a physician "I've heard everything you say as to why I should not take [prescription med X], and I still choose to take it."  And then be free to go buy that drug. (With the exception of antibiotics, where overuse/unnecessary-taking-of threatens all.)</description>

I confess to a little Schadenfreude, because Spitzer persecuted the objects of his Wall Street investigations for visiting sex workers--totally unrelated to the alleged securities crimes they were under investigation for.</description>
