Defrauding America: Encyclopedia of Secret Operations by the CIA, DEA, and Other Covert Agencies, Vol. One (Book # 2 of 30 in Defrauding America series.)

by Rodney Stich

Rodriguez testified that the CIA was involved in the weapon shipments and drug-money laundering with his various companies. Senator John F. Kerry (D. Mass.) made reference to the repeated denials by White House and National Security Council officials about U.S. arms shipments to Iran and the Contras, while the arms shipments were continuing to occur. During testimony by various witnesses, whenever a witness was about to name a U.S. politician or the CIA involvement in the drug trafficking, Kerry interrupted the witness and said this would be discussed in executive or closed-door session. The American public never heard of the criminal activities by high-level government officials and various government agencies.
