1980 Cia Activity In Nicaragua

[Colombia]

Can anyone tell me or provide me with a link about the name of the British program that aired the news about the CIA in Nicaragua during the 1980s regarding their involvement in the drug business.Thanks.

Shock waves should have jolted America when the news broke in England a few weeks ago [early in 1997]: "The CIA actively encouraged drug-trafficking in order to fund right-wing contra rebels in Nicaragua during the 1980s, and a CIA agent in Nicaragua was employed to ensure the money went to the contras and not into the pockets of drug barons."

That's how a London-based daily newspaper, The Independent, summarized the conclusions of investigative journalists working for Britain's ITV television network. Their findings aired Dec. 12 on a highly regarded program called "The Big Story."

It certainly was a big story -- on that side of the Atlantic. But on this side, it was no story at all.

Not sure if that's the one of not.

This reply is not really related but you might find it interesting that the U.S. hired mafia hitmen to take out Hitler. He killed himself first, but it is interesting, wonder if this is the only case of this, probably not. <_<
