14. Reding, “Mexico under Salinas.” Ten years after Reding’s essay, Gutiérrez Barrios was still an éminence grise. In November 1999 he organized the come-from-behind Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) primary victory of Francisco Labastida, a candidate “dogged by allegations—yet unproved—that he cut deals with drug traffickers while governor of Sinaloa, a Pacific-coast state, a decade ago” (J. Michael Waller, “The Narcostate Next Door,” Insight, December 27, 1999, http://www
.geocities.com/dmontero_trejo/Politica/The_NarcoState_Next_Door.htm). Gutiérrez Barrios’s former deputy, Manlio Fabio Beltrones Rivera, became, as governor of Sonora, the political patron of the drug lord Amado Carrillo Fuentes (New York Times, February 23, 1997).

27. “CISEN has far to go before it sheds its dark past: It was formed in the mid-1980s from the ashes of the despised Federal Security Department. . . . In CISEN’s ranks of former agents is the late master spy Fernando Gutierrez Barrios, known as the former ruling party’s keeper of dark secrets. Another original CISEN agent was Jorge Carrillo Olea, who later became governor of Morelos state but left office amid accusations linking him to organized crime. He has not been convicted” (Ricardo Sandoval, Dallas Morning News, May 27, 2003; http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/news/world/5951462.htm).

33. A key event of course was the publication of Alfred W. McCoy’s The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia (New York: Harper and Row, 1972). McCoy’s copious footnotes make it clear that he interviewed such important U.S. CIA officers as Lucien Conein and William Young. My own book The War Conspiracy, published shortly before McCoy’s, was able to reveal further details of the drug traffic (including the key role of Paul Helliwell, not mentioned by McCoy until 1991). I too was helped in part by conversations with an author and former CIA officer whom I met accidentally (as I then believed) in the library at the University of California, Berkeley.
34. The best essay is by Jonathan Marshall, “CIA Assets and the Rise of the Guadalajara Connection,” in War on Drugs: Studies in the Failure of U.S. Narcotics Policy, ed. Alfred W. McCoy and Alan A. Block (Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1992), 197–208.

36. Lansky had been a major player in the so-called Operation Underworld of the OSS and the Office of Naval Intelligence during World War II to use information from Lucky Luciano in operations on the New York waterfront and later in Sicily (Scott, Deep Politics, 100, 145, 165). His opposite number in Mexico, the Corsican Paul Mondoloni, was likewise protected by the French government (Douglas Valentine, The Strength of the Wolf: The Secret History of America’s War on Drugs [London: Verso, 2004], 323).
