I suppose I could definitely agree that Penn does not come out of this looking like a journalist on any level. Just a story teller.
But it wasn't intended to be a blog. It was intended as a discussion of the failure of the war on drugs. More to the point Penn even said he failed.

It also wasn't a very good story.

I guess I shouldn't be so hard on him for not getting any new information...the authorities gathered a lot of information on this vanity project for Penn, El Chapo and the mexican actress who I can't remember her name.
