Bogota, Jan 20 (EFE).- A Peruvian prosecutor alleged Tuesday that his country's jailed former spy chief had contacts with members of the CIA in an operation aimed at smuggling arms to Colombia's FARC guerrillas.

In comments to Colombia's RCN radio network, prosecutor Luis Vargas referred to one of the many charges facing disgraced spymaster Vladimiro Montesinos, this one involving the sale of 10,000 Jordanian rifles to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.

Vargas spoke of "evidence that would help establish contacts Montesinos kept with certain international intelligence agencies, especially the CIA." The prosecutor said that "unfortunately," he had been unsuccessful in attempts to subpoena CIA agents stationed in Peru at the time of the events to testify in the trial against Montesinos, tracked down in Venezuela in June 2001.

Montesinos, a top aide to former President Alberto Fujimori - himself exiled and in disgrace - has been jailed in Peru ever since his arrest.
The possible participation of CIA agents might have been a strategy to gain support for Plan Colombia, a Colombian government anti-drug initiative into which the United States had poured more than $3 billion, Vargas said.

1. The CIA really are a bunch of dumb fucks.

Can we disband them yet?

In all fairness, I suppose they are just following orders
(like Eichmann, right?), but when was the last time they got
something right when it comes to all this James Bond shit?
Grenada?
