ASA HUTCHINSON........
SHOULD BE "ASP" HUTCHINSON
AS you can see he should have a clear nose..
but does NOT..... faker! notice his eyes in the enlarged
picture-slits.. and what animal has slits for eyes? yep...
snakes...
This is an
excerpt from the Arkansas TIMES about ASP's tenure as FEDERAL
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY FOR WESTERN ARKANSAS.... in MENA ARKANSAS,
during the time of BARRY SEAL.... you mean you are going to
laugh?
Asa Hutchinson and I share a passion for the
subject of drugs. As a crusading member of Congress, he talks a
lot about them. As a reporter focused on crime, my writing
centers on them. Hutchinson wants to intensify this country's war
on drugs. I think three decades of failure have proven the war a
disaster.
Now President George W. Bush has nominated Hutchinson to head the
DEA, the biggest drug-fighting squad in the world. But before
Hutchinson assumes that post, there are some questions about
high-level cocaine trafficking in Arkansas while he was a U.S.
attorney here that he should be required to answer.
The questions have hung about for years, but so far he has
managed to dodge them.
They relate to the period from 1982 to 1985, when Hutchinson
served as the federal prosecuting attorney for western Arkansas.
He speaks often of that time.
"During the 1980s, our nation declared a war against
drugs," he proclaimed in a 1997 speech to the House. "I
was in that battle as a federal prosecutor. It was during that
time that our families, our communities, and our law-enforcement
officials mobilized in a united effort to fight this war."
In another speech he observed, "I have seen the drug war
from all sides - as a member of Congress, as a federal
prosecutor, and as a parent - and I know the importance of
fighting this battle on all fronts."
But some strange things happened in Hutchinson's district while
he was federal prosecutor that he doesn't mention in his
speeches. Specifically, a man identified by federal agents as
"a documented, major narcotics trafficker" was using
facilities at an airport in Hutchinson's district for
"storage, maintenance, and modification" of his
drug-running aircraft, throughout most of Hutchinson's tenure.
The man was Adler Berriman "Barry" Seal. For the last
four years of his life - and throughout Hutchinson's term as U.S.
attorney - his base of operations was Mena, Arkansas.
In 1982, the year that Hutchinson took office as U.S. attorney
and Seal moved to Mena, federal officials were already aware that
he controlled "an international smuggling organization"
that was "extremely well organized and extensive."
Agents for the DEA, FBI, U.S. Customs, and IRS were watching him.
They brought Hutchinson evidence that Seal was "involved in
narcotics trafficking and the laundering of funds derived from
such trafficking."
I knew none of this in the early 1980s. At the time, this was
highly secret information, known only to a handful of state and
federal investigators and a few politicians, including U.S.
Attorney Asa Hutchinson.
My interest in the relationship between Seal and Hutchinson was
piqued as I became aware of how heavily drug prosecutions fell on
street- and mid-level dealers, while smugglers like Seal, who
imported drugs by the ton, rarely ended up in prison. So when
rumors surfaced about Seal and his organization, and how they had
managed for years to avoid prison, even though the extent of
their activities was well known to drug authorities, I wanted to
know more.
But getting the story has not been easy. In the early 1990s, I
asked Hutchinson about Barry Seal and his associates at Mena.
Hutchinson provided no information, and politely dismissed the
complaints that had arisen by then about his failure to prosecute
Seal. He said he had already resigned as U.S. attorney by the
time the matter arose.
Even then I knew better than that. Ignoring sidelong glances from
some of my peers, who already equated drug smuggling at Mena with
reports of life on Mars, I began collecting official accounts of
what had happened there. My main thrust was an attempt to
acquire, through the federal Freedom of Information laws, all the
documents relating to Seal that were generated by the FBI.
WHAT A JOKE

Subject: Asa Arrests CIA-Drug Competitor
Asa's doing his part to ensure Wall St doesn't collapse. Those
awful
FARC terrorists could drive the street price of cocaine down,
impeding the cashflow to all those needy corporations. BTW, I'm
posting an article saying that WorldCom's assets, previously
valued
over 100 billion dollars, is really only worth 3 to 8 billion.
Hmmmm......

News Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 19, 2002
DEA DIRECTOR ANNOUNCES ARREST OF FARC MEMBER
DEA Director Asa Hutchinson today announced the arrest of Carlos
Bolas, a Colombian national and a leader of the Colombian narco-
terrorist group, Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarios de Colombia
(FARC),
for drug trafficking. On June 19, 2002, DEA agents transported
Bolas
to the Washington D.C. area where he will be arraigned in U.S.
District Court.
DEA obtained custody of Bolas on June 18, 2002, after Suriname
authorities arrested him for immigration violations when it was
determined he was using a false Peruvian passport. Bolas appeared
before a magistrate in Suriname, and knowing that he was wanted
in
the U.S. on drug trafficking charges, Surinamese authorities
expelled
him and turned him over to DEA.
"This arrest takes our fight against narco-terrorism to a
new level.
For the first time we have not only indicted a member of a
terrorist
organization involved in drug trafficking, but we have also
arrested
him. This means that narco-terrorists will be held accountable to
the
justice system and to the rule of law in both the United States
and
Colombia," said DEA Director Asa Hutchinson.
In March 2002, a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia
indicted Bolas, other FARC members Tomas Molina Caracas and John
Doe
(aka Oscar "El Negro") and four others for conspiring
to manufacture
and import cocaine into the United States. The charges resulted
from
an investigation conducted by the Bogota and Brasilia offices of
the
DEA in conjunction with the Government of Colombia, as well as
attorneys from the Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Division of the
Criminal Division of the Department of Justice.
The indictment alleges that, starting in 1994, Carlos Bolas and
his
associates were leaders of a cocaine trafficking ring centered in
Barranco Minas, Colombia, that manufactured and sold cocaine to
international drug traffickers in exchange for money, weapons,
and
equipment for the FARC. As he indicated in March, Attorney
General
John Ashcroft said, "the indictment marks the convergence of
two of
the top priorities of this Department of Justice - the prevention
of
terrorism and the reduction of illegal drug use - in a single act
of
justice."
The U.S. State Department has called the FARC the most dangerous
international terrorist group based in the Western Hemisphere.
Since
1980, the FARC has murdered 13 U.S. citizens and kidnapped over
100
more, including 3 U.S. missionaries, kidnapped in 1993, who are
now
believed dead.
DEA wishes to thank the Government of Suriname and the U.S.
Department of State for their outstanding cooperation in this
effort.
The Surinamese authorities conducted first-rate law enforcement
work
which lead to the arrest of this notorious terrorist and drug
trafficker.
