    I started watching and am halfway through episode 1 and other than the stuff about the Poe fella for the CIA I knew most of this stuff. Been trying to say for years that the CIA was the biggest drug dealing organization this country has ever seen or ever will. I can't wait to get to Reagan and the Contras.

    Shouldn't that make you one of their biggest fans?

    Not when we are steady locking people up for the same shit.

    But we have to keep those prisons full so can't go after the people who bring that shit in, just the low level dealers and users.

    I hope they get to Gary Webb in this series.

    @shane0911 does any of this in this program surprise you? Man I feel like the old kook on the block that gets vindicated finally.

    Some of it yes. I always knew there was corruption but man, I had no idea it ran this deep. That is some serious shit. What do you think of it so far?

    I'm glad a respected channel is doing it instead of a seedy Indy documentarian. I really like the footage they created. It looks real. im glad this is being brought to the light though. i didn't know Jimmy Carter's man was a coke head though that's pretty funny.
