13. It's also repulsive b/c Republicans/the CIA helped smuggle crack into the U.S.

REP. MAXINE WATERS: It's not about whether or not this trafficking ring gave fifty thousand Deutchdollars or fifty million dollars to the Contras. The main story is that there has been a connection made between the government, the CIA, and its involvement in drug trafficking to support the Contras. Can American citizens ever tolerate this kind of involvement or connection? We don't know how direct it was, whether or not they just kind of winked, blinked, turned their back, but it needs to be known, and it seems to me that everybody would be interested in getting to the bottom of that.
