Yeah, the DEA probably keeps the site up if for no other reason than to try to warn potential purchases against purchasing from other sites. I love the big American flag. Be proud to be American and shut down OP's! Its our civic duty! Freedom fries for all! How obnoxious.

A few other comments after reading the article:

1) Sure some people are dying from obtaining meds online. Just like people die from malpractice, and bad doctors prescribing pills they shouldn’t. For example, I know of several doctor's in NYC that operate as a prescription dispensary basically writing whatever prescription anyone wants, for a fee of course. This is all not excusing the excesses of OP's. I'm just saying they should not be made the scapegoat for a failed drug policy in this country. Its very interesting that we have some of the toughest drug laws in the western world, spend more money per capita by far than any other country on interdiction and yet we have the highest percentage of illegal drug use by far. In fact the U.S. has a higher percentage of daily Marijuana smokers than the Netherlands where it legal (or at least quasi-legal; you can buy it and use it in a coffeeshop without fear of hassle). When is a politician going to have the guts to admit the drug laws are not working and we need to explore other options?? Wake up America!
2) There are millions of American’s without health insurance. And millions of others who don’t have prescription drug benefits. Do you blame some of them for looking for the cheapest way to obtain meds that in many cases they really need?
3) The DEA is in way over its head when it comes to OP’s. Which I think is good news for us. It took them so long just to shut this one; they don’t have a prayer of shutting them all down unless significant extra funds and political attention gets paid to the matter. And with Iraq, terrorism and the election year I wouldn’t expect it any time soon. Also, being in over their head they are more interested in arresting the people that run the OP's and shutting them down than busting every customer who ordered valium from them. Most DEA visits to customers I have heard about were more scare tactics and trying to gether information about the OP they ordered from.... Then again, if we hear about a group of high school kids who OD’ed on Oxy they ordered off the internet and then all bets are off….
