additional background information 1990;to above post:

note; I was one of three undercover contract pilots who flew C-130's into the Caro ranch (El Digado). "Alverz", a friend and fellow pilot, was the UC pilot who had taken DEA agent Ki Ki Camaranda into this place before they were both captured, tortured and killed.
This was known-- in some circles at the time---, as 'The Mexico CIA Thing"/ I changed clothes and rested at this ranch many times in a three year time span and droped of CIA de-coding devices as well as guns and US Military hardware to the factions within the Mexican army and the DFS (Mexican Federal) and reported this information back to DEA HQ (Phonix AZ. aka "AMSOG " American Military Special Operations Group of theTri-State Drug Task Force; ref; Sargent Ed Salem and Harry Hawkins, my assigned UC contacts of the time. (reference: Phoenix Org. Crime Unit, (used as a 'cut-out' by ATF and DEA)
This highly secret unit, was the State of Arizona's Tri-State Drug Task Force chaired by then Gov Bruce Babbit. (this was an Undercover operation launched by the DEA and ATF as far back as 1978) This was also known as "The War on Drugs, or The Drug War". Some of these units and pilots were also associated with MI out of the special operations group (before Ollie North) of the Pentagon. This was a few years before the Iran-Contra. and the Boland Act.
