US Charges Maduro With 'Narco-Terrorism,' Forgets Own History
The irony is rich enough to fund an entire cartel. The US Justice Department charges Maduro with colluding with Colombian FARC rebels to flood America with cocaine. This, from a nation with a documented history, via the CIA, of working with drug traffickers in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, and later allegedly facilitating cocaine flows into inner-city Los Angeles to fund Nicaraguan
Contras in the 1980s. (Source: Gary Webb's 'Dark Alliance,' contra intelligence reports). So, while Maduro faces US-issued bounties, one might wonder: where's the bounty for those who allegedly armed and funded drug operations to achieve geopolitical aims? Or does 'narco-terrorism' only apply to those inconvenient to US interests, rather than those who helped establish them?
