It took a lot of money to build and staff permanent protester's camps on Vieques.

If you follow the money trail from these groups of anti-Navy activists back to its source, I wouldn't be surprised to see as much of it originate from real estate developers as drug cartels like the "Tun Tun" gang.

Its a risk worth taking. Spend the money up front to run off the US, open up a swinging resort complex (ala Club Med or Sandals type operation), allow the unwashed local masses just enough access to keep the clients in dope and happily spending money on the high priced amenities. The locals are happy because they are doing their part in the drug trade and scrubbing toilets. The resort probably makes back its upfront investment in 3 to 5 years.
