Senators Demand Holder Detail DEA's Use Of Secret Data

Eight Democratic U.S. senators and congressmen have asked Attorney General Eric Holder to answer questions about a Reuters report that the National Security Agency supplies the Drug Enforcement Administration with intelligence information used to make non-terrorism cases against American citizens.

The August report revealed that a secretive DEA unit passes the NSA information to agents in the field, including those from the Internal Revenue Service, the FBI and Homeland Security, with instructions to never disclose the original source, even in court. In most cases, the NSA tips involve drugs, money laundering and organized crime, not terrorism.

You know what those Senators REALLY are worried about? They are worried that their involvement with international drug dealers (financing, tip offs about surveillance, payoffs, and profits) will be revealed. I keep telling you --- Tyrone out of Harlem ain't arranging a the arrival of a freighter carrying 5 tons of coke ( or PAYING for it). It's politicians, military commanders, and bankers (who, like Bank of America, help launder the billions --- made possible by laws enacted by you know who (your "representatives").
