that video pretty much re-iterates every argument I've read here on PBH about the intricate details of the situation with cocaine and Colombia.

Just as he says at the end; it will never end.

Interesante. I would just like to say that in England we don't all talk like that annoying reporter.

The description of the Palace of Justice incident as "terrorist commandos acting under orders of drug barons" (or something like that) shows very little research. I stopped right there.

Not impressed. Sloppy and with many generalizations, even if it has some fairly interesting testimonies that point to real problems that could be seen even back in 1995.

Drug demand and supply within the framework of prohibition, you mean.

Arthur: There's no simple account of those events, but Wikipedia has a brief and well documented description.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Justice_siege

See, in particular, the "Alleged Mafia Links" section.

I've heard good things about Ana Carrigan's book. If you are looking for more details, that could be a good place to find them.
