THE WIRE AND THE WAR ON DRUGS...


if you haven't seen it yet, i think that the HBO show 'the wire' is the best show on tv. it's a critique of many things, but mainly the war on drugs and institutional failures across the board. the show is a thoughtful examination of incentive and motivation. reason editor radley balko recently interviewed co-creator of the wire ed burns. i find his comments on education, the war on drugs and the war in iraq most interesting.
