Oh look: a high ranking U.S. drug official in Mexico also "served as a secret ally of traffickers while he was posted in Guadalajara." Specifically, Richard Padilla Cramer used his post to report DEA informants to big drug cartels, for cash! The druglords would use this information to kill said informants in gross and painful ways. This, of course, comes as a "Complete Shock" for anyone who hasn't noticed that every DEA agent in Latin America has done the same thing, for the same reason, forever.
Meanwhile this week State Department listed Venezuela and Bolivia among the top three worst drug offending countries in the world for not cooperating better with this same top-secret DEA drug-running thrill kill cartel, the end.

That is a crazy story, but not surprising in the least. The US always is accusing Venezuelan and Bolivian officials of complicity, but the truth is that they have TONS of their own officials under the control of the drug cartels. How else could so much blow even get into the US?
And with Colombia's DAS involvement in drug trafficking reaching all the way up to Uribe, how can they continue to accuse Venezuela of drug trafficking with a strait face? Oh right, that's just the way the empire works.

What? Venezuela insists on writing its own damn drug laws, and enforcing them all by itself?
Damn commies!

Actually, the report lists Venezuela as failing to adopt counternarcotics measures in U.S. law.
I'm kind of thinking that Venezuela might have different laws and shit, you know, being another country and all.
