More Backlash on Four Corners Raids

Senators Hatch and Bennett, both Republicans of Utah, have called for an investigation of the Fed's arrests of pot hunters in the Four Corners area: http://www.newsobserver.com/2188/story/1568991.html

While they are at it, I hope they also look into last year's federal dragnet for "hot pots" allegedly stolen from Thailand: http://www.accg.us/issues/news/old-pots-cops-paint-as-201chot201d-sold-openly-in-thailand/?searchterm=Thailand

In my view, that investigation [which has disappeared from the news after a flurry of initial stories about the raids and subsequent death in custody of one of the targets] raises more fundamental questions than the raids out West.
