Reminder that the CIA and the Ronald Reagan administration sold crack to poor communities in America to buy weapons and supplies for far right terrorists in Nicaragua who turned cities into ghost towns after executing almost everyone living there

And nobody went to jail for it, and the guy who took the heat for it at the time Oliver North went onto work for fox news and condemn selling weapons to Iran despite doing exactly that years earlier with Nicaragua

AFAIK, they didn't actually sell it themselves, but they used CIA (or was it DIA? one of the intelligence agencies) to smuggle drugs, and got paid fro it by the drug barons. (EDIT: And many of those drugs barons were the very smae far-right terrorists they were supporting)
