I guess you swallowed the WASHINGTON POST's and NEW YORK TIMES'
disinformation hook, line and sinker.
My favorite official media excuse, that the SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS
was wrong, is:
Excerpt from:
-"Evidence Is Lacking Of Alleged Plot
-Nicaraguans Had Limited Role In Bringing Drug to
-U.S. Cities"
-By Roberto Suro and Walter Pincus
-Washington Post Staff Writers
-Friday, October 4 1996; Page A01
-The Washington Post
<snip>
-The Mercury News characterized Blandon as "the
-Johnny Appleseed of crack in
-California" and suggested that the drug later spread
-throughout the country as a result
-of his efforts. But Blandon's own accounts and law
-enforcement estimates say Blandon
-handled a total of only about five tons of cocaine
-during a decade-long career. That is
-enough to have damaged many lives, but it is a
-fraction of the nationwide cocaine trade
-during the 1980s, when more than 250 tons of the
-drug were distributed every year,
-according to official and academic estimates.
*ONLY FIVE TONS OF COCAINE*
The basic premise of the SJMN articles stands -- the CIA
impeded law enforcement.
There are many other examples. Read the stories at the
ftp site listed in my .sig. IRS investigator William Duncan's
stories are most damning. Duncan's Congressional testimony
is in the Duane Roberts subdirectory.

Here is a very interesting comment in North's diary. BTW,
Iran-contra OIC Lawrence Walsh never pursued the Contra
cocaine evidence.

Mr. Gould, I believe you need to do some reading on the subject.
