A fellow classmate sent me a few links…
This first one is a transcript of the interview with Dupont (you saw clips of this in class). He talk explicitly about the letter sticks out, with his disregard of scientists…

Your classmate also spoke with Obama’s advisor Charles Ogletree.

This website outlines a lot of Webb’s thinking http://www.thenation.com/blogs/edcut/331478/jim_webb_tackles_our_tangled_drug_policy
