The title is quite provocative, but sadly true. The very same government agencies that are supposedly fighting the "War on Drugs" are guilty of trafficking said drugs.
Over the past 50 years, the evidence is staggering:
Heroin and Vietnam - It's been alleged that American planes flying out of the war zone were not only carrying bodies, but also heroin to be sold on the streets.
The Iran-Contra Scandal - Cele Castillo wrote extensively about this in his book Powderburns
Mena, Arkansas - This is the big Clinton scandal that never got off the ground (because that story would not have singled out Clinton, but implicated many aspects of the federal and state governments).
For more information I highly recommend the film American Drug War which investigates government drug smuggling in more recent decades.
