(9/25/2012) The nation of Colombia has accepted billions of dollars in U.S. aid for fighting drug traffickers and eradicating drug crops. But in a candid interview, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos makes it clear that he’s not afraid to challenge longstanding U.S. drug-fighting dogma – telling us it’s time to rethink the entire effort – and at least consider decriminalizing drugs. Also, we travel to the jungles of South America, where countries like Suriname are turning to gold mining to increase their bottom line. But mercury, one of the main ingredients used in the mining process, is also incredibly dangerous and it’s causing irreversible environmental damage and serious health issues.
