The Narco News Bulletin, reporting today from Barcelona, brings two major stories to your attention: http://www.narconews.com/ 1. European Union Freezes "Plan Colombia" Financial aid requested by Washington and Bogota for US military plan in Colombia is put on ice until 2001; with a translation of analysis by Le Monde in Paris. 2. Philadelphia City Paper Reports CIA Protection of International Drug Ring Narco News highlights our link to this impecabbly documented work of investigative journalism by Howard Altman and Jim Barry on how the US Government stopped an investigation into a Dominican Republic-based drug ring in Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Baltimore. The investigation was squashed and honest agents persecuted because the facts led to involvement by a Dominican presidential candidate backed in 1996 by Washington. The Philadelphia City Paper CONFIRMS key facts of the May 2000 Narco News Story of the Month by Michael C. Ruppert, including a CIA internal document in which the agency admits that the US is behind the DR's major narco-party. Narco News will offer more detailed analysis this weekend. Meanwhile, we recommend the Philadelphia City Paper story: http://www.citypaper.net/articles/072700/cs.cover1.shtml Attention Journalists: In our analysis this City Paper story is leading to a story that will be bigger than the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s. salud y abrazo, from somewhere in a country called earth, Al Giordano publisher The Narco News Bulletin http://www.narconews.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------<e|- <FONT COLOR="#000099">Lonely?
