Today’s Video: Is it worth it?

We'll be back this weekend to cover several non-Wikileaks stories from the past few days possibly including allegations of discrimination against Latino farmers and the difficulties faced by Mexico's disabled population.

In the meantime the following video from the Associated Press examines some of the pitfalls in the "war on drugs" such as how most of those arrested in drug busts are small fish while the cartels' bosses are generally untouched.

Are the U.S. counternarcotics efforts successful or not? Please let us know what you think by leaving a comment to this post.

To kill the the weed you need to take it by its roots or it will simply continue to grow. So, these small time busts is going nowhere until they take down the source.

Thanks for your comments. It seems as if you wish to change the current direction of the "war on drugs" but do you have any suggestions on how to do so?
