Zambada Niebla Case Exposes US Drug War Quid Pro Quo<\/strong>

U.S. government officials have long presented the drug war through the media as a type of “Dirty Harry\u201d movie, in which hardscrabble cops are engaged in a pitched battle with hardened street criminals who threaten the very social fabric of life behind America\u2019s gated communities.<\/p>\n

Of course it\u2019s a big pretense, with the truth being closer to what really goes on in the marketplace of the US everyday. The drug war is, in reality, a drug business in which backroom deals are cut to advance the profit motives of the business entities involved, whether they be narco-trafficking organizations, or weapons manufacturers or government bureaucracies \u2014 and the aspiring, greedy careerists who inhabit their leadership ranks.<\/p>\n

But even the US government makes mistakes, and in this case it\u2019s the government\u2019s own agents and prosecutors who have that egg on their face via affidavits filed in early December in a controversial criminal case now pending in the Windy City. The pleadings supposedly advance the government\u2019s case against a major Mexican narco-trafficker, Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla. In reality, though \u2014 for any person of a critical mind reading them \u2014 the court documents demonstrate the insidious nature of the cooperation that exists between the US government and Mexico\u2019s Sinaloa mafia organization.<\/p>\n

Nowhere has the peel on that sour fruit been stripped back more cleanly with the paring knife of truth, revealing the bloody pulp inside, than in the ongoing narco-trafficking case against the rising Mexican Sinaloa Cartel capo Zambada Niebla \u2014 son of Ismael \u201cEl Mayo\u201d Zambada Garcia, who, together with business associate Joaquin Guzman Loera (El Chapo), serves as a godfather of the Sinaloa organization.<\/p>\n

Mexican soldiers arrested Zambada Niebla in late March 2009 after he met with DEA agents in a posh Mexico City hotel, a meeting arranged by a US government informant who also is a close confident of Ismael Zambada and Chapo Guzman. That informant, Mexican attorney Humberto Loya Castro, by the US government\u2019s own admission in court pleadings in the Zambada Niebla case, serves as an intermediary between the Sinaloa Cartel leadership and US government agencies seeking to obtain information on rival narco-trafficking organizations. …more<\/a><\/p>\n
