If you wish to aquaint yourself with the facts about CIA's role in drug 
smuggling, I suggest you look at Christics (sp?) Institute lawsuit against
the US Gov't, or at the questioning of the current director of CIA (forget
his name) in regards to his interaction with Ollie North while at the helm
of FBI (both Iran-Contra and confirmation hearings are of interest).

The CIA's use of South American drug king-pins as their "contacts" is nothing
new.  If you recall, CIA owned the air carrier comany where Hussenfuss was
working (and whos plain he was flying when he got shot down over Nicaragua);
and, if you remember, that same company has been implicated in flying in 
massive amounts of drugs from South America and having CIA and Ollie North
protect them from prosecution (the latter episode floated up in Iran-Contra
hearings).

No substance, eh?  Sometimes it helps to have more diverse (and honest) 
sources of information than Network TV News and front pages of Times/Mirror 
rags, Ray.
