CIA jet crashed with 4 tons of cocaine

A Gulfstream II jet that crash landed in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula in late September bearing a load of nearly four tons of cocaine. This particular Gulfstream II (tail number N987SA), was used between 2003 and 2005 by the CIA for at least three trips between the U.S. east coast and Guantanamo Bay — home to the infamous "terrorist" prison camp — according to a number of press reports.
Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Gary Webb uncovered that the CIA was responsible for distributing cocaine into poor Los Angeles neighborhoods. Shortly after Webb exposed the CIA, he was killed (the official story is that he committed suicide by shooting himself twice in the head).
War is profitable, and the so-called "War on Drugs" is no different. Government agencies make money in every part of the process: from sale, to seizure, to incarceration. America has 25% of the world's incarcerated population, and a higher percentage of its black population in prison than South Africa did at the height of apartheid.
Gary Webb's book, Dark Alliance, did make the connection between the Reagan administrations support for the Contras (some of which were involved in drug running) and the crack explosion that was going on in L.A. at the time. A subsequent John Kerry led congressional investigation into the matter confirmed that CIA operatives knew that some Contras were involved in drug running and they looked the other way (or in some cases helped get them out of trouble) because they thought their anti-communist crusade was more important. That is quite different from saying that the CIA was distributing cocaine in Los Angeles - not even Gary Webb said that. The other commenter who pointed out Gary Webb's fall, family problems and depression was right. If you want a critical, but real journalistic take on what is going on with this story (as well as a touching tribute to Gary by one of the people who worked with him), you should head over to http://www.narconews.com/. They are all over this story. And no I don't work for Narconews. I studied human rights violations related to the drug war in Latin America and am very familiar with Gary Webb and all the other people who work on this issue.
Why oh why doesn't the CIA get more heat for their central role in the corruption scandal(s) that support America's imperialistic foreign, as well as domestic, policies?
Is it because of their nice title: Central "Intelligence" Agency? What if we called them what they really are: Central Eavesdropping, Torturing, Drug-running, Gun-smuggling Agency?
Maybe then people would be able to recognize their crimes and demand they be held accountable.

CIA said it had to be corrupt because of money, I heard the organization is required to make it's own living so their deal is bleed the poor or no job, so they will steal cocaine shipments from the poor growers and dealers if they can. I would imagine CIA takes the whole thing and sells it off to BIG PHARMA, and they are more corrupt because people have been getting by on cocaine, heroin, and alcohol..for thousands of years..they may need to let them have their well known, tested drugs.

Like during the war in Afghanistan when you observe a c137 cargo plane flying soldiers back to Canada you can bet you as there is opium on board to be refine in a montreal drug lab which is fine to me as we need pain killers to help the wounds of war from fighting over the oil.Shame that this is all about children of God fighting over the garden of eden isn't it!

@ebooklibrary27 It'd be stupid if they weren't doing it - the system is genius: you make drugs illegal, curb the market on its import (the reason YOU go to jail for flying it in), sell it for high prices because you made it hard to get, then bust people with your product, give them criminal charges (fines, jail time, recovered drugs for resale), and then put them in prison (which allocates more tax money to "protecting the general population"). Sadly, I don't think our government is above that.
