Add'l links - Not an easy road, Buju held for cocaine possession in the United States (http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20091213/lead/lead1.html)

Here's my conspiracy theory - he's being setup for his stance and holding firm to his personal beliefs and I don't put it beyond the reach of corrupt law enforcement to push their agenda.

I'd really like to read the whole story behind this.

I concur. What would Buju be doing with Cocaine. Marijuana, yes...but Coke??? Unfortunately this could affect future US performances. Gays have a lot of power influence. Whoa be unto us when they finally become the majority shareholders in lawmaking.

..and/or the law enforcement agency might have taken the opportunity to get back at the JA authorities and throw the book at Buju.

That article doesn't make it look good for Buju. I'm not defending him, but I'm questioning how is it that the arrest took place when he wasn't there? I guess it's based on the footage previously? Interesting times ahead for him.
