For decades there have been rumors, and a little more than conjecture with some evidence that rogue personnel in the CIA and NSA were running drugs from South America to fund their clandestine operations with regard to supplying weapons to Iran and the Contra rebels in Nicaragua, by passing Congressional scrutiny. One of the primary players in this long running saga was a pilot named Barry Seal. But he was not alone. Seal and his friend Roger Reaves was one of the most prolific drug smugglers in history. Let’s look into who they were working for and what happened. Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.
