I agree. A very important film. "Cocaine Cowboys" is another one about the drug wars in Miami during the seventies and eighties. A C.I.A. jet just crash landed in Mexico with 3.5 tons of Cocaine on board. Never Made the news. Most of the people in the Iran,contra scandal work for the Bush administration still. The gangs are blamed for all of it. The money is the root of all this corruption. There is just too much money involved not to have it. The people doing the killing are pawns in the game.

I just finished watching this... dont ask, dont tell..

I must say it was wicked sick. I mean that i knew about the Contra scandals and what they did with Iran and all that, but the rest of it was just gravy...

It goes to show how far Corporate America will do to protect its interests especially in the drug, tobacco and alcoholic beverages industry.

So good its scary especially with people from the Iran-Contra mess that represent the Bush Administration. I knew who Oliver North as an author but didn't know of all the shady stuff he was into. The part with CIA director Deutsch at a high school in Watts, California was powerful with the ex-LAPD narc Ruppert telling what he knew of the various CIA-sanctioned drug operations. All in all an outstanding film. I hope it comes out on dvd if it hasn't already.

It's about as far from "brilliant" as night is from day.

An elaborate choice of phrasing to express a very simple opinion.

It's brilliant, everyone should see it. Download it, buy a DVD burner and hand out copies to all your mates. The message must be dispersed.
