I am amazed by this as well. I know that we send BORTAC and other DEA people throughout the Caribbean and So America for law enforcement work. Maybe US can only go into these areas under agreements the govt. has for drug interdiction, but nothing else???? i would ask my brother, but he never talks about his work.
Even their media gets no info and even if they did, by law, they are not allowed to release it or face jail time.
I am appalled the FBI hasn't gotten pushy w/them by now.
