American agents wounded in Mexico linked to CIA drug planes

Via safetalker


In a violent incident whose explanation daily grows more murky the two "U.S. embassy officials" wounded by Mexican Federal Police officers in an attack outside Cuernavaca were revealed to be CIA agents by major Mexican news organizations earlier this week.

What has remained undisclosed —until now —is ths: one of the agents is linked to the drug trafficking operation out of St Petersburg Florida in which two CIA-connected airplanes were seized—in separate incidents in 2006 and 2007—on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula carrying a total of ten tons of cocaine.

The wounded agents connection to earlier CIA operations was first discovered by Mexico City newspaper La Jornada, which noted that one of the agents, after being taken to a hospital for treatment of his wounds, listed his home address as a Post Office Box in Dunn Loring, Virginia.

In a major embarrassment for the CIA, that same address, incredibly, had earlier been used in a CIA operation that received maximum worldwide public exposure: the extraordinary rendition of Al Qaeda prisoners to secret prisons around the world, after the attacks of September 11, 2001, on a fleet of secretly-owned CIA airplanes.

"Sloppy tradecraft" a continuing problem

In the Mexican press, where the words “CIA” and “drug smuggling” occur together almost as often as “cookies” and “milk,' the CIA’s failure to invest in a new P.O. Box as part of the two wounded agents 'cover' was viewed with some surprise.

In fact, however, the gaffe, while extraordinary, was hardly unique.

  2. I have said privately for year's, the only reason drug running in this country has'nt been stopped ,is there are too many people in high place's getting rich from it. This is morally sickening and disheartening. The love of money is the root of all evil. Money is their only God , and bickering their only amusement .

  3. Yes, one of my mother's favorite quotes "money is the root of all evil." The only way the drug running will ever stop would be to make it legal.

  4. Logic says there are such great quantities of drugs being "smuggled" into this country that it couldn't be happening without government involvement or government approval. The "war on drugs" seems to be a cover for the illegal importation of drugs.

    How corrupt is our government? :)

  6. My wife liked a TV series called "The Closer." It was just replaced by "Major Crimes" and I watched part of the first show until they took off after a seemingly harmless man who bought a great many guns. They just knew that he was taking them to Mexico to sell to the drug cartels. I am not lying. This type of anti-gun nonsense is typical on crime TV now. Fast and Furious is a product of conspiracy theorists, like me. Bah. Only the government can do big time crime now.
