If the US is apparently using the drug control cooperation program to both destabilize Venezuala by actually using it to improve the distribution of illegal drugs there and as cover and funding for spying activities, why is cancelling it going too far? --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
Post #225,030 by JayMehaffey 9/16/05 2:06:11 PM Reply	I doubt it was directed by the US The DEA and every other agency in the drug war has a persistant problem with agents turning to dealing drugs. They know how much money is involved, have access to difficult to trace drugs and know how to avoid the police. As for spying on the government, for all we know they may have been looking for people dealing drugs on their side, nor do we have any proof that it really happened. The whole thing strikes me as a few agents dealing drugs on their own, and the Venezuelan government taking for action of the US government. Jay
