Penn says his article on Mexican drug lord Joaquin &quot;El Chapo&quot; Guzman “failed” in its mission. Speaking to “60 Minutes,” the actor said his intention in tracking down the escaped drug kingpin and writing about him for “Rolling Stone” was to shed new light on the U.S. government’s policy in the War on Drugs. But the public’s attention has been focused instead on how Penn found and met with him last October when Mexican officials couldn’t. Guzman was re-captured only last week after six months on the run. The “60 Minutes” episode is scheduled to air on CBS Sunday, on Sunday, Jan. 17. (Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP, File)
