Oops! have reuters uncovered the CIA drug smuggling. Or is this just another load of propaganda this time aimed against South America and West Africa. 9/11 of course gets another mention. Are these 2 areas of the world where US doesnt have a military presence in?? yet!
| Quote: | Al Qaeda 'Linked To Drugs Plane Network'
A rogue aviation network with links to al Qaeda is regularly flying drugs and weapons across the Atlantic Ocean, according to documentary evidence found by the Reuters news agency.
The US Department of Homeland Security report detailing "the most significant development in the criminal exploitation of aircraft since 9/11" was initially ignored by officials in early 2008.
They claim al Qaeda links were unclear at the time.
Described as a global security threat by officials in several countries, the network is allegedly transporting illegal goods from South America to the West African coast where the group al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb operates.
From here, officials believe that drugs are smuggled across the Sahara desert into Europe.
Reuters interviews with officials in the United States and three West African nations found at least 10 aircraft, including several retired Boeing 727s and executive jets, have been discovered since 2006.
Actual numbers are thought to be significantly higher.
Reuters thinks the air network was set up by drug smugglers to transport tonnes of cocaine from the Andes to African countries including Mali, Sierra Leone, Mauritania and Guinea Bissau, where disused landing strips act as makeshift runways.
The US Drug Enforcement Agency said all aircraft seized in West Africa started their journeys in Venezuela, ideally located for flights to Africa on the Caribbean and Atlantic coast.
UN representative Alexandre Schmidt urged action from the international community against the rogue network, adding the issue should be the "highest concern" for governments in West Africa, Western Europe, Russia and the US.
"When you have this high capacity for transporting drugs into West Africa, this means that you have the capacity to transport as well other goods, so it is definitely a threat to security anywhere in the world," he said.
The issue highlights the need for central intelligence agencies to step up the effort to get a clear picture of the situation.
US President Barack Obama rebuked intelligence officials recently after their failure to spot and prevent the alleged attempt to blow up a plane over Detroit on Christmas Day. |

US waves white flag in disastrous 'war on drugs'
After 40 years, Washington is quietly giving up on a futile battle that has spread corruption and destroyed thousands of lives
By Hugh O'Shaughnessy - Sunday, 17 January 2010
After 40 years of defeat and failure, America's "war on drugs" is being buried in the same fashion as it was born – amid bloodshed, confusion, corruption and scandal. US agents are being pulled from South America; Washington is putting its narcotics policy under review, and a newly confident region is no longer prepared to swallow its fatal Prohibition error. Indeed, after the expenditure of billions of dollars and the violent deaths of tens of thousands of people, a suitable epitaph for America's longest "war" may well be the plan, in Bolivia, for every family to be given the right to grow coca in its own backyard.
The "war", declared unilaterally throughout the world by Richard Nixon in 1969, is expiring as its strategists start discarding plans that have proved futile over four decades: they are preparing to withdraw their agents from narcotics battlefields from Colombia to Afghanistan and beginning to coach them in the art of trumpeting victory and melting away into anonymous defeat. Not surprisingly, the new strategy is being gingerly aired in the media of the US establishment, from The Wall Street Journal to the Miami Herald.
Prospects in the new decade are thus opening up for vast amounts of useless government expenditure being reassigned to the treatment of addicts instead of their capture and imprisonment. And, no less important, the ever-expanding balloon of corruption that the "war" has brought to heads of government, armies and police forces wherever it has been waged may slowly start to deflate................
