The CIA and Joanides

[Tosh Plumlee]

Thanks for this Tosh. It is a pity that different Fora are infested by trolls and others who seek to destroy credibility and cast doubt on testimony. That is their job I suppose. But it is a pity - and often surprising - they are tolerated the way they are.

It is probably a really dumb question and one not open to a ready answer at the present, but who were the principal protagonists in the "drug war of 1978-86"?

David;

Escobar, Ochoa, Gacha, Felix and the Baja bunch from southern Mexico ( both Cartels 1977-86) were the ones who we documented and were after during Operation Grasshopper, Watch Tower, and Whale Watch, as well as others. These operations were UC Classified and were sanctioned interdiction type operations. These were not "shut down operations ", but MI INTEL OPS to document Cartel fly ways and routings into US airspace and into the US overland routes. Most of these operations were a little before the Iran/Contra matter of 82-86, or there abouts.
