War on Drugs Filipino style

[Mr Quatro]

Is alright to talk about drugs and drug dealers and drug agents in this thread?

From a arm chair prospective I can't tell if the drug problem is getting better or getting worse. I am ashamed of the two years I spent dealing and using, but I am clean now and a better person that can see my past mistakes.

I am lucky not to be in prison hoping for an Obama pardon lol

I love my country no matter who the president is, no matter which party is in control of the distribution of our tax dollars. I still love the USA even when it gets embarrassed by the NSA/Snowden affair.

What is the DEA doing about the drug problem?
We don't know, but we know what they were doing, uh?

U.S. Government Helped Rise of Mexican Drug Cartel: Report

The U.S. government allowed the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel to carry out its business unimpeded between 2000 and 2012 in exchange for information on rival cartels, an investigation by El Universal claims.

Citing court documents, the Mexican newspaper reports that DEA officers met with top Sinaloa officials over fifty times and offered to have charges against cartel members dropped in the U.S., among other pledges.
Dr. Edgardo Buscaglia, a senior research scholar in law and economics at Columbia University, says that the tactic has been previously used in Colombia, Cambodia, Thailand and Afghanistan.

At first I was shocked, but in hindsight how can they do their job without what they were doing?

I don't think they can
