Mr. MORALES. I was in the beginning of the runway. The plane lands and unloads the drugs into the end of the runway.

Senator KERRY. How did you know they were drugs?

Mr. MORALES. I saw them.

Senator KERRY. What did you do with those drugs?

Mr. MORALES. Sell them.

Senator KERRY. What did you do with the money?

Mr. MORALES. Give it to the Contras.

Senator KERRY. All right. I'm going to come back to this because there's obviously considerably more detail that needs to be filled in.
((.........)



Senator KERRY. Now, when the drugs flew back in, did they come in the daytime or nighttime?

Mr. MORALES. They come in in nighttime. A few of them in daylight. But a few of them.

In the United States, they came twice at night. The rest of them came daylight.

Senator KERRY. Now here you are. You have been indicted before. You have a known reputation in the region as a narcotics trafficker. You are leading a pretty flashy lifestyle. You have helicopters, planes at your disposal, you are racing fast boats, with a lot of money moving around. And you’re telling us that at this airport, with all of this knowledge about you, you were still able to move around without any fear?

Mr. MORALES. I was very, very surprised myself.





(George Morales describes loading and unloading drug and gun shipments in broad daylight while under indictment or investigation in multiple drug cases. Morales was assured that his legal problems would "go away" if he aided the Contras gun and drug operations.)

LA Times on Morales:
Gave Contras $4 Million, Drug Smuggler Testifies
April 08, 1988|PAUL HOUSTON | Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — A convicted drug smuggler testified Thursday that he contributed $4 million to $5 million to the Nicaraguan Contras and flew weapons to them after two rebel leaders promised in 1984 to use their CIA connections to get him out of trouble with U.S. prosecutors.

George Morales, who subsequently went to prison on drug charges, told a Senate hearing that his planes were loaded with weapons in Florida, flown to Central America and then brought back with cocaine on board.
He has charged previously that the CIA and Drug Enforcement Administration were "very, very aware" of the flights, which Morales said encountered virtually no efforts to interdict them. Both agencies have denied the charges.

Former Congressman John LeBoutillier (R-NY) viewed the videotapes of Gritz’ meeting with Khun Sa, videotapes that Gritz brought back from Burma:

As the Associated Press reported on June 4, 1987, “A drug warlord in Burma accuses Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard L. Armitage and others of drug trafficking to fund anti-communist operations, the Riverside Press-Enterprise reported Thursday.”

The AP story then stated, “In a three-hour videotape interview smuggled out of Southeast Asia within the past week, Khun Sa said high-ranking American officials were involved in drug trafficking between 1965 and at least 1979.”

Read Gritz' letter to George Bush informing him of his findings
http://www.serendipity.li/cia/gritz1.htm
Why does it seem that you are saying "YES" to illegal narcotics in America?

I turned over video tapes to your NSC staff assistant, Tom Harvey, January 1987, wherein General KHUN SA, overlord of Asia's "Golden Triangle", offered to stop 900 tons of heroin/opium from entering the free world in 1987. Harvey told me, "...there is no interest here in doing that." General Khun Sa also offered to identify U.S. Government officials who, he says, have been trafficking in heroin for more than 20 years.

Instead of receiving an "Atta Boy" for bringing back video tape showing Khun Sa`s offer to stop 900 tons of illegal narcotics and expose dirty USG officials, Scott was jailed and I was threatened. I was told that if I didn't "erase and forget" all that we had discovered, I would, "hurt the government". Further, I was promised a prison sentence of "15 years".

I returned to Burma with two other American witnesses, Lance Trimmer, a private detective from San Francisco, and Barry Flynn from Boston. Gen Khun Sa identified some of those in government service he says were dealing in heroin and arms sales. We video taped this second interview and I turned copies over in June 1987, to the Chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence; Chairman of the House on Foreign Affairs Task Force on Narcotics Control; Co-Chairman, Senate Narcotics Committee; Senator Harry Reid, NV; Representative James Bilbray, NV; and other Congressional members. Mister Richard Armitage, Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, is one of those USG officials implicated by Khun Sa. Nothing was done with this evidence that indicated that anyone of authority, including yourself, had intended to do anything more than protect Mr. Armitage. I was charged with "Misuse of Passport". Seems that it is alright for Oliver North and Robert MacFarlane to go into Iran on Irish Passports to negotiate an illegal arms deal that neither you nor anyone else admits condoning, but I can't use a passport that brings back drug information against your friends.

A U.S. agent I have known for many years stopped by my home last month enroute to his next overseas assignment. He remarked that he had worked for those CIA chiefs named by Khun
Sa, and that by his own personal knowledge, he knew what Khun Sa said was
true. He was surprised it had taken so long to surface.

Transcript of "a Nation betrayed" video produced by Gritz
http://www.supremelaw.org/authors/gritz/anatbetr.htm

"What I want to tell you very quickly is something that I feel is
more heinous than the Bataan death march. Certainly it is of
more concern to you as Americans than the Watergate. What I'm
talking about is something we found out in Burma - May 1987. We
found it out from a man named Khun Sa. He is the recognized
overlord of heroin in the world. Last year he sent 900 tons of
opiates and heroin into the free world. This year it will be
1200 tons.

On video tape he said to us something that was most astounding:
that U.S. government officials have been and are now his biggest
customers, and have been for the last twenty years. I wouldn't
believe him.""

Lance Trimmer "Citizen Complaint of Wrongdoing by Federal Officers" LETTER TO ED MEESE September 17, 1987 (TRIMMER was a member of Gritz's POW rescue team who witnesses drug lord Khun SA namimg US officials as being his biggest customers of heroin)
http://www.apfn.net/dcia/trimmer.html

Let me explain my situation to you. I am a veteran of the United States Army.
I served with the Special Forces in the Vietnam War for more than two years
between 1964 and 1970. I consider myself to be a patriot and am proud of my
service to this country. Since the end of the Vietnam War, I have been
actively involved in seeking to locate and free American POW's and MIA's left
behind in Southeast Asia. I have been associated in these activities with Lt.
Col. James "Bo" Gritz and others, including Scott Weekly. I believe our
efforts have been carried out with the tacit ) if not always, overt ) approval
of certain elements within our government. These government and military
officials share our goal of freeing these forgotten Americans.

In the fall of 1986 Col. Gritz and Mr. Weekly went to Burma. They had
received intelligence from the "Basement of the White House", which led them
to believe certain Burmese had information about American POW's. These leads
proved to be unfounded. However, on that trip Col Gritz learned about illegal
durg trafficking directed by U.S. government-related operatives. These drug
dealing activities were on such a scale that they were used to fund covert,
para-military operations in Southeast Asia and in other parts of the world.

In May of 1987 I went to Burma with Col. Gritz and others. We brought back
startling evidence directly linking American officials with illegal drug
trafficking. A report on this Burma trip is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."

Testimony of Fabio Ernesto Carrasco, 6 April 1990
http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB2/docs/doc17.pdf

On October 31, 1996, the Washington Post ran a follow up story to the San Jose Mercury News series titled "CIA, Contras and Drugs: Questions on Links Linger." The story drew on court testimony in 1990 of Fabio Ernesto Carrasco, a pilot for a major Columbian drug smuggler named George Morales. As a witness in a drug trial, Carrasco testified that in 1984 and 1985, he piloted planes loaded with weapons for contras operating in Costa Rica. The weapons were offloaded, and then drugs stored in military bags were put on the planes which flew to the United States. "I participated in two [flights] which involved weapons and cocaine at the same time," he told the court.

Carrasco also testified that Morales provided "several million dollars" to Octaviano Cesar and Adolfo "Popo" Chamorro, two rebel leaders working with the head of the contras' southern front, Eden Pastora. The Washington Post reported that Chamorro said he had called his CIA control officer to ask if the contras could accept money and arms from Morales, who was at the time under indictment for cocaine smuggling. "They said [Morales] was fine," Chamorro told the Post.
