The CIA and Drugs: Just Say “Why Not?”

In my 30-year history in the Drug Enforcement Administration and related agencies, the major targets of my investigation almost invariably turned out to be working for the CIA
Dennis Dayle, former chief of an elite DEA enforcement unit

1947 to 1951, France
Corsican and Mafia criminal syndicates in Marseilles, Sicily and Corsica – benefiting from CIA arms, money and psychological warfare- suppressed strikes and wrestled control of labor unionsfrom the Communist Party. In return , the CIA smoothed the way for the gansters tobe left unmolested, and unindicted, and to restablish the heroin racket that had been restrained during the war – the famous “French Connection” that was to dominate the drug trade for more than two decades and was responsible for most of the heroin entering the United States.

From the book “ROGUE STATE”, by William Blum
