Tucson's Wide Receiver: Gunrunners during the Bush years
Project Gunrunner actually began in Laredo, Texas, as a pilot project in 2005, according to the Department of Justice. (1) It was this same area -- the Texas border area, and south along the Gulf in Mexico, where the most deaths, massacres and tortures have been carried out.
Sinaloa drug cartel member Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla said he has immunity and can not be prosecuted by the United States, because he was working for the United States. Zambada says the US was working with the Sinaloa drug cartel, based on Mexico’s west coast, as reported by Bill Conroy in Narco News (3).
The US now is trying to clamp down on Zambada’s testimony by applying a national security law to his case, the Classified Information Procedures Act.
On the streets of Tucson, none of this is big news.
It comes as no surprise here that the US government was supplying assault weapons to the drug cartels – assault weapons that have killed, and are still killing, innocent people in Mexico and the US. In Tucson, most people knew that the assault weapons had to be funneled south by the US government. The only surprise was that the US government got caught.
Here, most people understand that there would be no drug war in Mexico without the demand for drugs in the United States. Here most people know about the US military’s black ops. Here, people know how the US trained Latin military officers to torture at the School of Americas, and how the US Army trained the special forces who later deserted and became the Zetas, the most notorious murderers in Mexico.
The US Army even has its manual online stating that the United States furnishes guerrillas with funding and weapons, to destabilize governments and achieve other US agendas. Most people here remember that the airstrips around Marana and Tucson were used as airstrips when the US brought drugs in from Vietnam, smuggled in body bags during the Vietnam War, as exposed by former CIA agents.

Rigs, Balls And Death
It was fascinating to read the comments which followed my post of yesterday as two old sea-dogs argued as to whether the ship featured in the photograph was a schooner or a brig, square rigged or gaff rigged. There can be few better examples of the delights of this strange new digital world in which we inhabit : a world where you can throw out a question, sit back and wait for it to be taken up by people from throughout the world. The internet has a lot going for it : it is wonderfully comprehensive, enormously large, breathtakingly fast - but there have been big books and fast newspapers before : the true wonder of this internet of ours is its' interactivity.
