WMR reported on Feb. 10 that the CIA under the command of Porter Goss
is back into the drug smuggling business in Afghanistan. Russian Deputy Prime
Minister Sergei Ivanov told a meeting of the Russian-NATO Council that "drugs
and arms smuggling are booming and ‘dirty cash flows’ keep feeding
extremist and radicalism" in Afghanistan."
CIA: "Christians In Action" "missionaries" reportedly involved in Afghan heroin smuggling under Porter Goss's direction.
Ivanov's comments were reported by the Pak Tribune of Pakistan. Ivanov's
comments followed the resignation of the CIA's Counter-terrorism Center chief
Robert Grenier. Grenier, who held the job for only a year, was reported to have
clashed with Goss over the issue of secret prisons, rendition, and torture of
"Al Qaeda" prisoners.
However, Grenier may have also discovered that CIA contract flights are being
used to transport high-grade Afghan heroin from the nation to black markets
in Europe (particularly Turkey and Albania) and North America. Grenier reportedly
refused to "get with the program" Goss established in the CIA. Goss
has reportedly re-engaged Iran-contra operatives who were involved in drug smuggling
activities to illegally support the contras and other off-the-books CIA activities
in the 1980s. In particular, the CIA drug smuggling activities in Afghanistan
are centered on Christian fundamentalist groups, including "aviation ministries,"
that operated various CIA money laundering fronts in Nicaragua, Honduras, El
Salvador, and Guatemala during the contra wars. Some of the CIA contractor "Christian"
aviation missionary fronts active in the Afghan drug smuggling operations, including
one based in Dallas, have been linked in the past to Pat Robertson's 700 Club's
Operation Blessing.
