That's why I tend to believe we can't beat them at their own game. The only
way to defeat them is to take away their secrecy. It's the only protection
they have. If we can understand HOW they operate, and who they use to do
their dirty work, then everything is much clearer. But we have to see the
overall picture first, and I think that's what is becoming more apparent the
more we dig into the roots of the drug trade. It truly is the octopus.
