That sounds a little dubious to me, personally.

If you, as a politician, are working against illegal drugs - and - if  
they then find some cocaine at your house, how plausible is the claim  
that you "were investigating the drug scene by buying drugs"?

I'm not passing judgement upon Jörg Tauss - there's just too little  
information about anything to have an informed opinion. All I'm saying  
is that this particular may not hold water, rhetorically or  
intellectually, and that there may still be an image problem.

In related news: Dagens Nyheter, one of the major daily newspapers in  
Sweden, ran an article about Jörg Tauss switching to Piratenpartei in  
the Bundestag: http://www.dn.se/nyheter/varlden/barnporrmisstankt-tysk-socialdemokrat-blir-pirat-1.895256

Translated to English by Google Translate: http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=sv&js=n&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dn.se%2Fnyheter%2Fvarlden%2Fbarnporrmisstankt-tysk-socialdemokrat-blir-pirat-1.895256%0D%0A&sl=sv&tl=en&history_state0=&swap=1

At this point in time the automatic translation is fairly accurate and  
mostly readable, except for the first quote by Jörg Tauss is  
mistranslated by Google Translate. Where it says "and therefore  
illegal", read instead "and therefore I become a pirate".
