I'm sure everyone knows about this by now, but I haven't seen a thread dedicated to it and it's not being talked about in the most recent El Chapo thread (about his recapture).
I don't know if it deserves its own thread, but I'm creating this one because I was reading a recent CNN article about it and had an objection to comments made by both Penn and El Chapo.
Sean Penn on El Chapo scoop: 'My article failed'
I completely get the frustration of spending so much money and seeing so little results, but this is kind of dumb. It reads as if we shouldn't be going after people like El Chapo simply because other people are doing the same thing.
If I burned down a house, the fact that someone else burned down an entirely different house a week later does not absolve me of my crime, regardless of how much is being spent on firefighting efforts.
This is even dumber. If I burn down a house, the fact that the house won't magically repair itself the day I die does not absolve me of my crime.

"We're going to put all our focus -- forget about blame -- we're going to put all our focus, all our energy, all our billions of dollars on the 'bad guy,' and what happens? You get another death the next day the same way," Penn told Rose. |

El Chapo asserted something similar in a response to one of Penn's questions. When asked whether he feels responsible for high levels of drug addiction, El Chapo said, "No, that is false, because the day I don't exist, it's not going to decrease in any way at all." |
