CIA-Homeland Security: Cocaine Trafficking Again?
CONSPIRACY PLANET
Conroy then claims that the "operation also appears to be badly flawed, the sources say, because it is being carried out unilaterally, (Rambo-style), by ICE and without the knowledge of the Mexican government..."
(So if the Mexican government knew about it, they would do more to protect the narco-trafficking operation? Or what?)
(Also it must be "badly flawed" since which CIA narco-traffickers really want to "lose" 4 tons of cocaine?)
The spurious sources in the DEA that NarcoNews is quoting must be laughing out loud after reading this account.
The "limited hangout" really must be working -- especially when you have clueless writers like Conroy repeating half-baked hardly believable rationales for crashing cocaine planes.
"One proposition that all of the law enforcers who spoke with Narco News agreed on with respect to the Mayan Express is that even if DEA was precluded from participating in the effort, the CIA almost certainly was involved on some level. They say no law enforcement operation is carried out overseas without the CIA lurking in the background," -- and at least taking a piece of the profits.
"Attorney Mark Conrad, a former high-level supervisory Customs agent who has an extensive background in the intelligence world, has no problem entertaining a CIA scenario in the Gulfstream II narco-world saga," Conroy continues. "Though he stresses that he has no knowledge of the Mayan Express operation, Conrad says based on its description, he suspects the CIA could even be running the show.
Conrad says: "It [the Mayan Express] makes no sense and it makes perfect sense. There probably aren’t six people left at ICE who could put an operation like this together. It could well be a CIA operation working under ICE cover."
Conrad says such a “cover” approach is not a crazy conspiracy theory.
(Uh, uh, watch out -- it's "not a crazy conspiracy theory.")
"He adds that when he was with U.S. Customs — which has since become part of ICE — the CIA placed one of its agents in Japan with Customs credentials as a cover."
"Though speculation, such a structure could provide the Agency with the clearance it needed to carry out the operation stateside and a convenient scapegoat if the operation imploded — along with plenty of plausible deniability."
Caveat lector. The fact that NarcoNews gives air time to anonymous DEA sources with implausible cover stories is not good news for its readers.
