Eric, you seem to "believe" quite a lot!  The allegations have been
around quite a long time.
 
The "discrediting" aspect is particularly interesting.  Reagan accused
the Sandinists  of coke-dealing a few years ago in a news conference.
The chief of the DEA contradicted his Commander in Chief before the day
was out, saying there was no evidence of such activity.
 
Several peace activists in Costa Rica were mailed packages of cocaine
recently, evidently in an attempt to get them locked up.  The
suspected source of the mailings was the Contra political wing.
