This article seems like a whitewash to me. The CIA has been involved in the trafficking of both heroin and cocaine in its assistance of various counterinsurgency groups in Southeast Asia and in Central America. I have some data to support this, but it is currently in storage. For starters, check the Covert Action Information Bulletin. Moly 19:46, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I tried to revert the page back to its original form, but I completely screwed up, being a new user. If anyone else knows how to change the article back to its original 5+ pages, please do so. Thanks, Luis Posada 02:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

It seems like some idiot with a 5th grade education came in here and re edited it to be goverment friendly. Please redo this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.73.71.248 (talk) 04:50, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Can someone show where it used to be 5+ pages? I'm going through the history and I don't see it, but it does seem alarmingly stub-like to me too. csloat (talk) 20:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merged with more extensive article

Sourcd material in this article is now in the drug sections of CIA transnational anti-crime and anti-drug activities. I don't have all the books in the reading list and thus can't source from them.

[edit] rendition/drugs plane

There were stories in the press a while ago, alleging that a plane that was believed to be a rendition plane had crashed with large amounts of drugs onboard. I'm not sure anything was truly proven, but there was a fair amount of mainstream coverage to this accusation that may be useful to this article.

It seems like this article is mostly written about historical cases, whereas there have been a few more recent allegations that should be covered. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hulahulahulahula (talkcontribs) 19:02, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
