(posted

piece of Pentagon sponsored legislation--Section 2011 of Title 10
of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations--changed all that. The law
allowed U.S.
Special Forces to be deployed in foreign countries if their primary
purpose was
to receive rather than give training there. Perhaps most significantly,
this
legislation largely exempted Special Forces on these missions from
[laws
preventing their] training with known human rights violators." Some
history: "7th Special Forces Group. The 7th's webpage ... During the early
'80s the unit `drafted the initial plan for U.S. military trainers

Death Squads In Colombia."
Article quote begins:
"In the name of fighting drugs, the CIA
financed new military intelligence networks there in 1991. ...
they incorporated illegal
paramilitary groups into their ranks and fostered death squads.
These death
squads killed trade unionists, peasant leaders, human-rights,
journalists, and
other suspected 'subversives.' ... In May 1991, Colombia
completely reorganized its military intelligence networks 'based
on the
recommendations made by the commission of U.S. military advisers,'
according to
the secret Colombian reorganization order, which Human Rights
Watch made public
in 1996. ... The secret Colombian order instructed the military to
maintain
plausible deniability from the networks and their crimes. Retired
military
officers and other civilians were to act as clandestine liaisons
between the
networks and the military commanders. All open communications 'must
be avoided.' There 'must be no written contracts with
informants or civilian members of the network; everything must be
agreed to
orally.' And the entire chain of command 'will be
covert and
compartmentalized, allowing for the necessary flexibility to cover
targets of
interest.' Facts about the new
intelligence networks became known only after four former agents in
Barrancabermeja began testifying in 1993 about the intelligence
network
there. What compelled them to come forward? Each said the military was
actively
trying to kill them in order to cover up the network and its crimes.
By
then the military had 'disappeared' four other ex-agents in an attempt
to keep
the network and its operations secret." http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v98.n683.a04.html/all

The Real Drug Lords. This is a great little article by William Blum
called the
Real Drug Lords. A quick overview of the primary spots where the CIA
has engaged
in working with traffickers for one reason or another. Simple and to
the
point. http://speech.csun.edu/ben/news/cia/970504.hist.html
Cocaine pipeline financed rebels. This site has all of the original
Webb articles
as they appeared in August 1996. Webb had so many facts there to see it
is hard
to imagine how the CIA, in the person John Deutch, then Director of
Central
Intelligence, could expect the citizens of South Central LA, and the
rest of the
country as well, to believe his denials. In retrospect, it is not hard
to see at
all, what with the propaganda machine http://www.seattletimes.com/extra/browse/html/drug_082296.html
The Contras, Cocaine, and Covert Operations. This site has an
incredible number
of official documents outlining the government's knowledge that it was
working
with drug traffickers. Another large site, with lots and lots of
material. Spend
some more time here. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB2/nsaebb2.htm
CIA's Drug Confession. An in depth look into the CIA/Contra/Cocaine
connections,
and the resultant report by the CIA Inspector General, by Robert Parry.
Parry
was one of the very first to try and report the allegations that were
flying
around in the eighties about the Contras supporting the war in
Nicaragua with
the proceeds of drugs, buying arms and supplies, often using drugs
themselves as
currency, to pay for the arms that Oliver North and friends were
shipping
South. http://www.consortiumnews.com/consor29.html
