There Are Now More Americans In Jail Than There Were In Stalin's Gulag Archipelago .. CRIMINALISATON [ INTIMIDATON ] OF AMERICANS .? JOBES FOR LEFT ATORNEY ..LEFTY AGENDA..? FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS ..??

There are now more Americans in jail -- 6  MILLION -- than there were in Stalin's Gulag, reports Fareed Zakaria, in a column called "Incarceration Nation."

And it's not just a relative population thing.

The U.S. has 760 prisoners per 100,000 citizens.

And it's also a relatively new phenomenon: In 1980, the U.S. only had 150 prisoners per 100,000 citizens.

What's to blame?

The "War on Drugs."

How does that compare to other countries?

It's 7X-10X as high:

• Japan has 63 per 100,000,
• Germany has 90 per 100,000
• France has 96 per 100,000
• South Korea has 97 per 100,000
• ­Britain has 153 per 100,000
