The CIA's drug smuggling operations are very well documented. Also, diplomatic courier pouches are not searched. Cocaine (not crack) is pretty much a drug of the affluent. It would not be much of a stretch to imagine that cocaine is brought into America through either of these entities. Our diplomats regularly bring liquor into Islamic countries, where it is illegal. I guess "being treated unfairly" depends on your outlook. I just do not agree with the two sets of laws in our country and in the world.
"W" bragged about using cocaine in the WH while his "daddy" was president.
