Just a quick correction to one of the videos. The guy (not Cenk) in the video about drugs said the Australian national was carrying 0.4 grams of heroin and that it was "clearly to use and give to their friends". They were in fact carrying 396.2 grams of heroin [1] and they were carrying it (by their own admission) to pay off debts. Cenk corrected this slightly later when he said it was 0.4 killograms, but he didn't correct the bit about this being a case of actual drug trafficking, as opposed to it being for personal use.
That said, it was still an appalling sentence, and another reminder of why the war on drugs continues to fail.
