Guest: Gareth Porter is an independent investigative journalist and historian specializing in U.S. national security policy. He writes regularly for Inter Press Service but has also published investigative articles on Salon.com, The Nation, Truthout, The American Prospect and The Raw Story. He has received grants from the Investigative Fund of The Nation Institute and from Fund for Investigative Journalism to work on months-long investigations into the 1994 terror bombing in Buenos Aires and the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia in 1996, both of which resulted in new findings that challenged past mainstream assumptions that Iran was behind both bombings.
Porter is the only journalist who has investigated in depth the intelligence documents of the purported Iranian nuclear weapons research program from 2001-03, which have been at the center of the accusations of Iranian work on nuclear weapons ever since. He has found evidence that those documents are frauds perpetrated on the United States, the IAEA and the international community by Israel. He is the author of four books on the Vietnam War and the political system of Vietnam. Historian Andrew Bacevich called book, Perils of Dominance: Imbalance of Power and the Road to War (2005), "without a doubt, the most important contribution to the history of U.S. national security policy to appear in the past decade." Porter was Saigon bureau chief of Dispatch New Service International in 1971 and later reported on trips to Southeast Asia for The Guardian, Asian Wall Street Journal and Pacific News Service. He was Co-Director of the Indochina Resource Center in Washington, D.C, an anti-war education and lobbying organization, from 1974-76. He has taught Southeast Asian politics and international studies at American University, City College of New York, and the School of Advanced International Studies, John Hopkins University.

borders into Mexico, Central America, and South America. In various
capacities, he acquired first-hand knowledge of the war on drugs through
his direct involvement with counter-narcotics missions. He labored with
distinction, even receiving special Congressional recognition for his work.

"But," he says, "as the 'War on Drugs' went on and on, I never saw any
visible progress - and only limited discussion about the lack of progress.
Something was wrong with this picture." Terry came to understand drug
prohibition was doing more harm than good, and that the United States needed a major policy change.

Henry and Jim Delgado discuss FL Gov Rick Scott appointing more foxes to guard the hen house, US House reads the constitution and more

Guest: Jack Cole, is the founder and chairman of the board for, LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, www.CopsSayLegalizeDrugs.com

Jack Cole knows about the war on drugs from several perspectives. Cole retired as a Detective Lieutenant after a 26-year career with the New Jersey State Police. For twelve of those years he worked as an undercover narcotics officer. His investigations spanned the spectrum of possible cases, from street drug users and mid-level drug dealers in New Jersey to international “billiondollar” drug trafficking organizations. Jack ended his undercover career living nearly two years in Boston and New York City, posing as a fugitive drug dealer wanted for murder, while tracking members of a terrorist organization that robbed banks, planted bombs in corporate headquarters, court-houses, police stations, and airplanes and ultimately murdered a New Jersey State Trooper.

After retiring, Jack dealt with the emotional residue left from his participation in the unjust war on drugs by working to reform current drug policy. He moved to Boston to continue his education. Jack holds a B.A. in Criminal Justice and a Masters degree in Public Policy. Currently writing his dissertation for the Public Policy Ph.D. Program at the University of Massachusetts, his major focus is on the issues of race and gender bias, brutality and corruption in law enforcement.

Guest: Jim Gierach, LEAP, Law Enfrcement Against Prohibition
www.CopsSayLegalizeDrugs.com

James Gierach is a practicing attorney who has experienced the effect of the war on drugs from both sides of the legal system. As a Chicago prosecutor in the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office in the early 1970s, Jim scrutinized and perfected search-warrant complaints for narcotics officers to “make the charges stick” in court.

He also worked “homicide court” and witnessed the violence that
exists as a direct result of drug prohibition. After 35 years of courtroom and broad-based legal experience, Jim has concluded, “Not only does prohibition not work but it is prohibition (not drugs) that is at the hub of most U.S. crises worth talking about: gangs, guns, crime, prisons, AIDS, health care, corruption, and eroding of our civil liberties.”
