Group thinks CIA had vigilante ties


I think I may be having a Reaga/Bush flashback. Pass the Valium.

MiamiHerald.com 05/24/2006 Group thinks CIA had vigilante ties:

"BOGOTA - A Washington-based think tank filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to force the Central Intelligence Agency to search its archives for documents that may help reveal the CIA's links to a vigilante group here that helped Colombian and U.S. authorities track down drug lord Pablo Escobar.

In its suit, the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) and the law firm of Brian Gaffney said CIA actions ``discourage the Plaintiff, its members and other members of the public from obtaining public records from the United States government.''
IPS, one of Washington's oldest think tanks, has been requesting documents on the case via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) since 2004."
