I think Sonny in post #20 makes a great point. Due to a certain ex CIA head (and subsequent ex US President), to borrow Sonny's deliberate ambiguity, America's "war on drugs" was a war fought against itself. While supplying arms to Noriega by way of US military airplanes, the CIA was happy to turn a blind eye as Noriega used the return flights to bring drugs into America. It was all part of the deal. Explicit details can be found in the book In the Time of Tyrants: Panama 1968-69
