State Department tells Iraq it will not discuss US troop withdrawal

WASHINGTON — The State Department said in a statement Friday that the U.S. will not hold discussions with Iraq regarding American troop withdrawal from the country. “At this time, any delegation sent to Iraq would be dedicated to discussing how to best recommit to our strategic partnership — not to discuss troop withdrawal, but our right, appropriate force posture in the Middle East,” State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said in a statement.

Lol
The guy was at the top of mid-level drug dealers all across the country with a combined total of 16,000 hits of acid sold to the drug dealers that were popped by the police and then turned over and used to investigate him.

He wasn't busted for using LSD. He was busted for being a higher-level LSD distributor and then refusing to cooperate.

To be fair, 16,000 hits of acid over a dealers career does not make one a high level dealer.

Also...his friend


EDITED to include the info at the bottom of the post. My friend Rudd got caught up in an LSD conspiracy charge a few years back (2004) and the US Gov't gave him a life sentence. He was never actually caught with any LSD and was convicted based on the testimony of 11 witnesses (some federal agents).

The case is really a truly sad one - that they would lock anyone up for life for LSD is unthinkable, and I believe only one other person was given this harsh a sentence, William Leonard Pickard. (also Timothy Tyler who I recently learned about)

Also Edited to give the following info: he was offered 8 years to inform on his suppliers but because he would not cooperate with the government he was given the harshest possible sentence.

There used to be a copy of his appeal online, now I can only find a synopsis here; (lots of details) 05-5127 -- U.S. v. Walker -- 05/03/2006

I'm posting this to spread awareness of his case.

He's a good guy, but has lost everything. If anyone reading this has time to write him a letter, share some words of kindness or whatever, here is his info -

Roderick Walker

Seems he should have spoken up.
