Re: CIA ADMITS TO DEAL WITH JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE.

As an ex DEA agent I found the complete lack of coverage by mainstream media of what I saw last night during the congressional hearings into CIA Drug Trafficking, on CNN both depressing and frightening. I sat gape-mouthed as I heard the CIA Inspector General, testify that there has existed a secret agreement between CIA and the Justice Department, wherein "during the years 1982 to 1995, CIA did not have to report the drug trafficking its assets to the Justice Department." (This is the agreement, by the way, that lead directly to events described in our non-fiction books, The Big White Lie and Deep Cover. Those many who have read the books will know instantly what I am talking about. To a trained DEA agent this literally means that the CIA had been granted a license to obstruct justice in our so-called war on drugs; a license that lasted so CIA claims from 1982 to 1995, a time during which Americans paid almost $150 billion in taxes to "fight" drugs. Of course the evidence indicates that they did not stop obstructing justice in 1995 either, but that I suppose is going to be another congressional hearing. As far as the current hearings go this Catch 22 "revelation" means that all the present hearings are for nothing; that if they are caught violating the drug laws they had been given "secret" license to do so by our Justice Department. This might also explain Janet Reno 's recent and unprecedented move in blocking the release of a Justice Department investigation into CIA drug trafficking. God, with friends like these, who needs enemies? It is now clear that this agreement began with the events described in THE BIG WHITE LIE; that the top drug traffickers in Bolivia, then supplying virtually all the world's cocaine including Sonia Atala were CIA assets that had to be protected from our deep cover probe. Laura and I still have the proof of this that we used to back up the publication THE BIG WHITE LIE. The same proof was later incorporated into other data backing up the publications of DEEP COVER and TRIANGLE OF DEATH. Our evidence which congress has been craning its neck not to see for instance, shows clearly that during Operation Hun (the story in The Big White Lie), secret meetings were held with CIA and Justice Department wherein all indictments of top government officials in Bolivia were blocked. We now believe this agreement began because of Operation Hun. CIA had to hide the fact that they were supporting the people manufacturing virtually all the cocaine being produced in the world, at that time. In Deep Cover we showed that, during Operation Trifecta a highly successful deep cover probe into the top of the drug world in three countries (Panama,Bolivia and Mexico) Attorney General of the US Ed Meece found it necessary to warn the Attorney General of Mexico about DEA's case. We, (undercover DEA agents and Customs agents), found links between top US government officials and the people who murdered DEA agent Kiki Camarena, that to this day go unexamined by our congress or anyone else. In "TRIANGLE OF DEATH, a work of "faction" we showed CIA's real-life involvement in the protection and creation of one of the most murderous criminal organizations to ever plague America, an organization created by escaped Nazi fugitives under CIA protection events occuring long before this alleged CIA Justice agreement. And so the dance continues. If anyone watched the CNN show you cannot have helped but notice the snickering on the part of Congressional chairman Porter Goss (an ex CIA officer), as congresswoman Maxine Waters spoke. Now here's the reason why: Souces of mine, who speak to me from inside this veil of secrecy out of conscience and because I am cheaper and more reliable than a psychiatrist, have already told me the following: 1. There is secret communication between CIA and members of the Congressional staff one must keep in mind that Porter Goss, the chairman, is an ex CIA official indicating that the whole hearing is just a smoke and mirror show so that the American people particularly the Black community can "blow off some steam" without doing any damage to CIA. The CIA has been assured that nothing real will be done, other than some embarassing questions being asked. 2. That the hearings will result in the CIA receiving even a larger budget than the current $26 billion that they admit to. One of the most distressing things for me, a 25 year veteran of this business, to listen to was when Congesswoman Waters said that the hearings were not about CIA officers being indicted and going to jail. "That is not going to happen," she said. Almost in the same breath she spoke of a recent case in Miami wherein a Venezuelan National Guard general was caught by Customs agents smuggling more than a ton of cocaine into the US. Despite named CIA officers being involved in the plot, as Congresswoman Waters stated, the Justice Department will not tell her anything about the case because of "secrecy laws." No wonder chairman Goss was snickering. She could not have played more neatly into CIA hands than to surrender before the battle was engaged. For the entire existence of CIA they have gotten away with doing more damage to the American people than all our traditional enemies combined, precisely because no one was ever prosecuted. From the CIA protection of Nazi criminals from war crimes prosecution as they set up criminal organizations that preyed on America (Triangle of Death), to their lies to President Kennedy that dragged us into Bay of Pigs, to their lies to President Johnson that dragged us into the Vietnam War, to their creation of a pan Arab army of American hating, drug trafficking terrorists during the Afghan War, to the Church Commission hearings, to MK-Ultra, to the Bolivian Cocaine Coup ("The Big White Lie"), to their protection of the world's top cocaine traffickers as they laid waste to American streets (Deep cover) , the CIA has acted exactly as Senator Frank Church once described them: "a runaway rogue elephant...completely unresponsive to Congress...they (the CIA) have not only been unproductive, they have been contraproductive..they have brought great shame on America." And the dance continues.
