var en uoverkommelig overmakt han stod opp mot, og trakk seg (Chip Tatum hevder han fikk<br />

beskjed om ”nøytralisere” Perot på grunn av hans undersøkelser rundt dette — men at han<br />

takket nei til jobben).<br />

353 ”Immediately upon arrival in the Bangkok safehouse on 19 may 1987, I was called by<br />

Joseph Felter who informed me that U.S.Government authorities, had come to him so that I<br />

might be advised to erase and forget everything I had just learned from Khun Sa and return<br />

IMMEDIATELY with all documentation to be turned over to Harvey on arrival. My failure to<br />

properly respond would ‘hurt the U.S. Government!’ (…) I chose instead to present the<br />

information and was called to testify before Larry Smith’s House Sub-Committee on<br />

Narcotics Oversight. It was a mistake. Smith did not allow the members to view the Khun Sa<br />

video record (and) said the charges against Armitage were old, investigated, and<br />

unfounded.” Dan Russell, Drug War; Covert Money, Power and Policy (Kalyx 2000), s 468-70.<br />

354 Det følgende er et brev fra 1. februar 1988, skrevet til George Bush Sr. fra Bo Gritz:<br />

Honorable George Bush, Vice President, United States of America, Washington, D.C.<br />

Sir:<br />

Why does it seem that you are saying "YES" to illegal narcotics in America?<br />

I turned over video tapes to your NSC staff assistant, Tom Harvey, January 1987, wherein<br />

General KHUN SA, overlord of Asia's "Golden Triangle", offered to stop 900 tons of<br />

heroin/opium from entering the free world in 1987. Harvey told me, "...there is no interest<br />

here in doing that." General Khun Sa also offered to identify U.S. Government officials who,<br />

he says, have been trafficking in heroin for more than 20 years.<br />

November 1986, Scott Weekly and I went into Burma in coordination and<br />

cooperation with The White House. Tom Harvey told me you received a letter from Arthur<br />

Suchesk, Orange County, CA, dated 29 August 1986. Dr. Suchesk said that Gen Khun Sa had<br />

access to U.S. POWs. Harvey said the letter had received "highest attention". He gave me a<br />

copy along with other case documents. I was asked if it was possible to verify the<br />

information. According to Harvey, the CIA said Khun Sa had been assassinated some months<br />

before. Harvey supplied Scott and myself with language under White House and NSC<br />

letterhead that would help us gain access to Khun Sa. It worked. Unfortunately, Khun Sa<br />

knew nothing about US POWs. He did, however, offer to trade his nation's poppy<br />

dependence for a legitimate economy.<br />

Instead of receiving an "Atta Boy" for bringing back video tape showing Khun Sa`s<br />

offer to stop 900 tons of illegal narcotics and expose dirty USG officials, Scott was jailed and I<br />

was threatened. I was told that if I didn't "erase and forget" all that we had discovered, I<br />

would, "hurt the government". Further, I was promised a prison sentence of "15 years".<br />

I returned to Burma with two other American witnesses, Lance Trimmer, a private detective<br />

from San Francisco, and Barry Flynn from Boston. Gen Khun Sa identified some of those in<br />
