[Kirk Freeman]

An explosive allegation made yesterday in federal court (Northern District of Illinois) yesterday. Defendant claims that .gov allowed his to run drugs into the USA in exchange for information on a rival cartel.

The Government has until September 11, 2011 to respond.

Why am I not surprised.... apparently the fire behind the "War on Drugs" needed some fuel added to it.... win win situation for some political dealing big wig from one of the federal agencies, they get information on folks they want to bust and the reason for their "existence" gets artificially bloated..

Not saying it's 100% true, just saying I wouldn't be surprised... I mean after all... "never let a good crisis go to waste".. right?

Doesn't surprise me, at all. It's not the first time they've done it and it won't be the last time they do it. It's right up there with Gunwalker. It's just SOP in the war on drugs.

If we are going to ship guns to Mexico they have to pay us back somehow. If they are tight on cash, it is nice of ATF to take payments in dope.

There is no better way to perpetuate war than to fight on both sides.

Good old immunity for "information"

I wonder how good any of the intel he offered up actually was. Was he like an undercover informant?

Ok Jose, we need you to continue running drugs so that you can gather intel on the cartels, ok?

Yeah, OK, I'll get right on that!
