BUSH ADMINSTRATION IMPLICATED IN NARCO DEATH SQUAD COVER UP
by Alex Gabor
In a developing story that has barely received any national or international media attention, one that has been brewing for close to three years now, is finally coming to the attention of a growing number of Congressional leaders and international investigative journalists.
Narco News investigative journalist, government muckraker and "Borderline Security" author Bill Conroy has published over 41 articles on the growing cover-up involving a dozen dead bodies found just south of the Mexican border.
He has been intimidated by ICE (Homeland Security) agents and other government officials for his vast coverage of this story of corruption that leads to the highest officials in America and may result in further resignations in the Bush administrations' tattered war torn Presidency.
Recently, the London based Observer published a story written by David Rose that failed to mention the groundwork laid by Conroy, yet Rose acknowledged Conroy in a private email, highlighted by facts that the United States Department of Justice, through the United State's Attorney's Office is involved in a massive cover-up of the operations that paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to an informant directly involved in the murder of a Mexican attorney, one of the twelve bodies in the House of Death story.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has been attempting to suppress evidence from public view by invoking national security issues in an attempt to distance itself from the fallout amid growing curiosity of non-mainstream investigative journalists and public citizens.
Recent coverage in a Dallas Morning News story by Alfredo Corchado contradicts the stories put out by Rose and court records show that a paid government confidential informant was involved in more than one murder.
A group calling itself the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition has filed a Freedom of Information lawsuit against the Department of Justice which seeks to expose information implicating government officials behind the death squads involved on both sides of the border in more than 50 murders related to DEA, Homeland Security and Mexican police covert operations.
Conroy, who claims the Attorney General knew about payments of funds to death squad operators in Mexico that resulted in at least a dozen murders, has been asking for a congressional investigation into the matter.
His work has apparently caught the attention of Henry Waxman's office in Los Angeles, who is soon to take over as head of the Government Reform Committee, and is not too keen on secrecy within the Bush administration.
The committee is gearing up for public hearings after the new majority Democrats take office on a wide range of topics including the War in Iraq, the War on Drugs, government spending and government contracting. Prior efforts to bring this matter before Congressional leaders had failed.
It would appear that any information made public which exposes the federal government and reveals the truth about its secret covert operations that could be construed or in fact are illegal or actual war crimes comes under the heading of "national security", and tends to be discredited or confused by the governments' own bought and paid for press.
To date, over the past twenty years, the Federal government has spent over $500 billion on the war on drugs and the amount of money laundered from drug sales within the borders of the US and globally through an international network of bankers who take deposits from drug money launderers worldwide exceeds $1 trillion annually.
95% of the people listed on the DEA's most wanted fugitive list in Los Angeles are Latin American.
The questions that most international journalists should be asking is, did George Bush know that the US Department of Justice was paying confidential informants to be involved in racially motivated covert death squad operations and if so why were they allowed to continue, and if not, why not?
Isn't he after all, the Commander in Chief of the War on Drugs as well as the War on Terrorism and the War on Iraq?
