Cartel expert says Sean Penn, del Castillo could be in serious danger

It’s been just over four months since Sean Penn met with the world’s most wanted drug lord, and things aren’t going as the actor had planned.

“My article has failed,” Penn told CBS’s Charlie Rose in an interview that will air on 60 Minutes this Sunday.

The Oscar winner was referring to the 10,000-plus word screed detailing his meeting this October with notorious Mexican cartel boss Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, and the events leading up to it. Rolling Stone published Penn’s article this past Saturday, following Guzman's capture six months after his Hollywoodesque escape from a maximum security prison this past July.

Penn had hoped that by interviewing the head of one of the world’s largest and deadliest drug cartels he could spark a meaningful dialogue about U.S. drug war policies. Instead, his interview is being credited with helping lead Mexican authorities to the evasive Guzman—a recognition the actor does not want.

The extra horrifying thing about the graphic I linked to is that the autopsy showed that the victims were still alive when they were skinned..D’oh I guess that’s why it’s called skinned alive.

Penn being anti-gun holds a lot of weight with the political establishment. But the drug cartels are an entirely different animal. I’m reasonably certain that they don’t give a thought to him being anti-gun. I still say that Penn is not long for this world.

Nonsense. Penn will be fine. He just needs to post some Gun-Free Zone signs.

Don’t laugh! Zeta cartel members once came to kill me, but they saw the Gun-Free-Zones signs and left in disappointment!

So when is Sean's interview with Hillary coming out?
