Actually, she didn't do that at all and the author of the article is using post hoc arguments by attacking Kate Moss, for the real problem, which is the war in Columbia. In reality, if Kate Moss did kill people and fund kidnapping, she would most likely be in prison on kidnapping and murder charges.

Also, I find this quote funny, "Drug Addiction in Portugal also show cocaine use among young adults in Spain and Britain has doubled in the last decade." This works against the argument of trying to get people to "just say no". The truth is, a lot of people obviously don't, and the proof is that the use has doubled even after a half century "War on Drugs" started by the Nixon Administration.

As long as these "drug wars" continue, there will probably be hot wars between the drug clans. I figure the best solution would be to put drugs on a capitalist market and let companies compete by selling these "illegal" drugs; thus, bringing the drugs out of the black market, and finally putting an end to an otherwise unstoppable drug trade.
