Great expose of renegade and uncontrolled covert operations in the 80's. Clearly shows how compartmentalized these efforts can be and how hard it is to get a good overall picture of these units. Secret Money + No Accountability = Corruption!

More great big laughs about the (ha ha ha) "War on Drugs" where parts of the government bring in the drugs and then other parts of the government fight the drugs. Truly hilarious, except for, as ex-DEA agent Levine points out in the dedication of his book, "law enforcement officers who have died trying to take drugs off the street".
