BARRY STING IS NEW LOW IN POLICE WORK

THE WASHINGTON police and the FBI seem to have reached a new low by bringing in two women, supplied by the FBI with illegal drugs, to enter a hotel room fixed up with hidden cameras so that they could induce District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry to partake of smoking illegal narcotics in the form of crack.

Will these agents also be arrested for trafficking in illegal drugs and bringing them into a hotel room to induce a person to partake of the same?
