The War On Drugs (documentary)

[Earthborn]

Two-part Dutch television documentary on the War on Drugs in the United States, by the VPRO broadcasting foundation (left wing). Almost exclusively in English with Dutch subtitles.

The War On Drugs
Part 1: The Winners (http://www.vpro.nl/rmstreams.db?12606929)
Part 2: The Losers (http://www.vpro.nl/rmstreams.db?12835104)

Streaming video: use broadband or infinite patience. Opens up empty explorer windows and RealPlayer (required).

Translation of the intro text:
"Except for the War on Terrorism, America fights another war: the War against Drugs. The Netherlands is forced more and more to join that war, using the same rules and laws as America. Laws that are completely opposite to ours (dutch) and is more like martial law, but are still used by the (dutch) Ministry of Justice to extradite people to the United States..."

I thought some might be interested in this.

Earthborne: I honestly hope your government can fight my government and keep from joining this lost cause. The war on drugs must end and it looks more and more as if the countries of the world are going to have to stand up against America and "Just say NO"!

Exciting things are going on in Canada right now, I can only hope the canadians keep cannibis legal and work twords more sensible drug policies and don't buckle under American pressure.

I saw a fully English broadcast of this a few years ago on Free Speech TV. It's very good at exposing the threat to the freedom of everyday Americans the War on Drugs represents.
