... responsible for perhaps one third of the cocaine reaching the United States. Yet the DEA station in Honduras was closed in 1983, as it was moving in on Matta. Matta himself remained untouchable until 1988, after Congressional support for the Contras was terminated altogether.(15) By this time Matta Ballesteros was sought by the DEA for the murder in Mexico of DEA agent Enrique Camarena. Two of his associates and co-defendants in that murder case, Rafael Caro Quintero and Miguel Felix Gallardo of the then dominant Mexican Guadalajara cartel, have been identified in U.S . government records as major drug-traffickers who were also Contra supporters.

... official intelligence. McPhilemy describes how Sands, his informant on the Committee', had already been giving information about it - though not about its alleged role in assassinations - to a Belfast journalist, Martin O'Hagan, who was publishing it in the Sunday World. Setting out to investigate allegations that the RUC was colluding with Protestant paramilitaries in the murder of Catholics, McPhilemy's researcher on the programme made contact with O'Hagan who put him in touch with his source, Sands. Asked why he was telling the TV people this story, Sands replied,'....there's thinking within the Ulster Central Co-ordinating Committee that the time is now right for to go public or ...

... The bulk of the book (it's not actually bulky, but a slim volume) consists of an exploration of the claim of Lt. Col. Dan Marvin that he was sounded out' by a CIA officer as Pitzer's assassin. Lt. Col. Marvin didn't go through with it, but clearly even a failed attempt to recruit a murderer counts as evidence connected with a disputed death.1 Lt. Col. Marvin's fascinating story is examined this way and that, and its faults and failings assessed impartially. And it survives this scrutiny more or less intact. There are some military paper-trails unearthed, which go a long way toward helping the reader get his/ ...

What did this Administration know, and when did it know it about the events of September 11? Who else knew and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?

Nobody wanted to frustrate Stalker's murder investigation. Murder is murder. Mitigating circumstances for killing have to be justified in court. We're all on the same side on that subject.

... Gerald Posner's Oswald did it after all! ' apologia, Case Closed, it is unfortunate that Russell's book still hasn't found a UK publisher. The Man Who Knew Too Much has a unique take on the whodunnit' aspect of the assassination, a synthesis of the left and right wing conspiracy theories: Oswald was involved in the conspiracy to murder the President; and he was an FBI informant and a CIA or Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) agent; but he was also working for the communists as a double agent of the KGB or GRU! Russell proposes that, having been sent to the USSR as part of a phony military defectors' programme run by the CIA ...

... proponents of a non-violent transition to a more democratic civil society, and provocations that would suggest a possible intervention or even coup by some elements of the Indonesian Army. These same conditions in 1965 led to an army intervention, and a change of leadership accompanied by an army-backed massacre in which perhaps over a million civilians were murdered. That grim memory lends importance to another important similarity between 1965 and 1998, one which the press, to my knowledge, has so far ignored. Up until March 1998, as in 1965, though for different reasons, most members of the U.S . Congress mistakenly believed that they had terminated U.S . military ...

... puts that into political context by reminding us that in the 1980s, when Iran enjoyed US support during its war with Iraq, Libya was clearly targeted by the Reagan Administration. The shooting of WPC Yvonne Fletcher in 1984 encouraged Thatcher to become the only European leader to allow her country to be used two years later for a US attempt to murder Gaddafy by bombing after the Berlin La Belle night club attack in which American soldiers died. Ashton does not devote much of his book to the London murder or the German explosion, but he points to sources who question the accepted version of Libyan responsibility for both. He also tells us that the man charged by Reagan in 1985 with ...

... , but not exclusively, to the world of intelligence agencies and similar organizations, where secrecy and covert operations were adopted as a matter of deliberate policy. I still see value in this definition and mode of analysis. But parapolitics as thus defined is itself too narrowly conscious and intentional to describe the deeper irrational movements which culminated collectively in the murder of the President: it describes at best only an intervening layer of the irrationality under our political culture's rational surface. Thus I now refer to parapolitics as only one manifestation of deep politics, all those political practices and arrangements, deliberate or not, which are usually repressed rather than explored.
