According to The Intercept, the History Channel is finally telling the stunning secret story of the war on drugs, including government alliances with some of the world’s largest drug cartels.

Are such criminal alliances just a history of the past? Afghanistan now supplies about 90 percent of the world’s heroin, as The Intercept’s Jon Schwarz writes. See also what Julien Mercille has written about drug trade in Afghanistan.

The premiere of “America’s War on Drugs” is at 9 PM TONIGHT (EDST – Eastern Daylight Savings Time). See show site.
