Crusades against drugs are a routine part of the political landscape. Wars are declared. Czars are appointed. Billions are appropriated. More and more prisons are built. The untold and amazing part of the drug war is that there is considerable evidence that covert US involvement with regimes and movements has exacerbated the problem. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central America and Panama are just recent examples of US policy gone awry. This is a revelatory and blockbuster program. Few are better informed on this issue than Peter Dale Scott.
Peter Dale Scott, a former Canadian diplomat and UC Berkeley professor, has carefully studied and documented the politics of the global drug trade. He's the author of The Iran-Contra Connection and Cocaine Politics.
