Well-Ironed Suits Required in the House of Death
Categorized under Política Estados Unidos | Tags: CIA, DOJ, House of Death, Mexico
PERHAPS YOU REMEMBER the House of Death saga? The secret and bloody fingers dipped south of the border by the USA? The ones that reach all the way to top of the DOJ?
The Narcosphere has got some tasty docs on hand, as well as more backstory and links and some unraveling of the case:
These government records paint a portrait of a high-level DOJ and DHS cover-up orchestrated to protect the political reputations and aspirations of powerful people and to short-circuit charges of criminal culpability against government agents, prosecutors and high-level political appointees within DOJ and DHS.Remember, if any of these people were aware of the informant’s participation in murder, and approved his continued use knowing full well that the informant would participate in murder again (as the informant alleges many did), they could be accused of being accomplices to murder. In addition, any action taken to cover-up those facts could be deemed an obstruction of justice.
—Narco News, DOJ, DHS top brass implicated in House of Death cover-up, DEA testimony shows
Call me jaded. But the truth of it is that my pulse hardly rises to think that those in our highest political offices are tied to murders unknown. After all...there are a few hundred thousand out there that we do know about, right? And there's always a grand justification for this sort of thing, anyway. Something to do with liberty...or freedom. Peace. Something like that.

Hey, Nez. Totally OT: Here's a story that might interest you.
As for the House of Death, what attracts my attention is that magically and mysteriously, most of the drugs that are cultivated in Mexico arrive safely for sale in the United States. The guys who left the informant at the House of Death in place could just as easily have been the few honest ones who were actually trying to intercept drugs. The real story is what no one notices: the system that makes the drug trade possible. The informant at the House of Death, who was after all a low-level employee in the system, said that corruption went to the highest levels of the Mexican government. He wasn't familiar with the US goverment, but doubtless to the highest levels there too. So, the big story is what no one notices because it grinds on and on, magically, mysteriously, and without ever getting tired.
