Drug testing profiteer Robert DuPont's wife first says "that's not true" to allegations that her husband sells drug testing kits for a living. She changes her tune to "that's not entirely true" after I load up the website for her husband's company, Bensinger, DuPont, and Associates.

Drug Czar John Walters was just introduced by drug testing industry profiteer and former federal drug official Robert DuPont. Walters also pontificated about the need to do something about young people's lack of educational opportunities and the problem of youth being pushed into cycles of crime and failure.
