It’s not just Brian Terry. There is MORE:
Remember the Dept of Customs guy who got zapped by some non-Sinaloa cartel guys down in Mexico about 2 years ago? They said it was random, relying on the public image of Mexico as generally very dangerous, which is true. But in fact the reason for the kiling was specifically BECAUSE of this Obama/Sinaloa agreement:
You see, apparently how things go down in Mexico is this; when word gets out to cartels that some entity does important business with ONE cartel, the general view of the others is that that entity is more or less an extension of THAT cartel. See?
And apparently that’s the view even if the deal seeker is the US Dept of Customs. The other drug scums think, “they are proto-SINALOA guys...”
So they killed him.
Now, that is bad enough. But what if instead you were a lowly badged gringo schmuck simply doing what you were told, down there, and you didn’t KNOW of the arrangement? That is just a GUESS of mine —that the secret agreement might be so sensitive that for security and political reasons they might not tell the guys low on the totem pole.
That would mean whenever you drove around town down there you might be passing drug guys on the street who saw you as a RIVAL drug dealer AND YOU DID NOT EVEN KNOW THAT.
I mean you would NOT KNOW you were in danger, you would not know to use stealth. It would be like finding out mid-way during a cocktail party that you’d been nude that whole time.
So it’s NOT one officer killing, that BP agent —it’s TWO.
I’m not convinced they even thought it that far through...
The big thing was to support the myth that US arms and gunshops were the problem. Field agents wherever, undercover or what were not the concern.
