323 Al Martin bekrefter dette i boken sin. I forbindelse med CIAs storstilte kokainsmugling på
1980-tallet forteller han at organisasjonens ansvarsfordeling på området, på denne tiden
begynte med Clair George (Deputy Director), fulgt av hans underordnede, Alan Fiers. Fiers
underordnede var igjen Dewey Clarridge, og under han var igjen CIAs forskjellige
stasjonssjefer i utlandet. For Iran-Contra affærens del var for eksempel Joseph Fernandez,
stasjonssjefen i Costa Rica, et sentralt tannhjul i maskineriet. Al Martin, The Conspirators:
Secrets of an Iran-Contra Insider, (2002 National Liberty Press), s 162.

Da OPC ble lagt ned i 1952, og inkorporert i CIAs Office of Special Operations, var det fordi
operasjonene deres, i den grad de var kjent, ble sterkt mislikt av den amerikanske
statsmakten. Men Wisner ledet også denne, og professor Alfred McCoy forteller videre at
”Instead of eliminating OPC’s style of covert action, the merger, in the words of a U.S.
congressional review, ‘resulted in the maximum development of covert action over
clandestine collection.’” Alfred W McCoy, The Politics of Heroin; CIA complicity in the global
drug trade (Lawrence Hill Books 1991), s 178

325 William Blum, en tidligere ansatt i U.S. State Department, beskriver CIAs
narkotikavirksomhet i det gyldne triangel slik: ”The operation was not a paragon of
discretion. Heroin was refined in a laboratory located on the site of CIA headquarters in
northern Laos. After a decade of American military intervention, Southeast Asia had become
the source of 70 percent of the world’s illicit opium and the major supplier of raw materials
for Americas booming heroin market.” William Blum, Killing Hope; US Military & CIA
Interventions since World War 2 (Zed Books 2003) s 142.

mannen som ledet CIAs MKULTRA (mind-control) eksperimenter. Ibid s 141.

Alfred W McCoy forteller dette om korrupsjonen i BNDDs avdeling i New York:“In New York
during the 1960s, the regional office of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs
achieved a (…) symbiosis with a Mafia drug syndicate, accepting regular bribes to arrest only
those dealers nominated by the syndicate. The system gave federal agents an impressive
record of arrests and allowed them rapid promotions while simultaneously eliminating any
competition for the mafia.” Alfred W McCoy, The Politics of Heroin; CIA complicity in the
global drug trade (Lawrence Hill Books 1991), s 15.
