  Barry Seal
Barry Seal, the son of a candy wholesaler, was born in Baton Rouge on 16th July, 1939.
Seal acquired the large transport plane in June 1984 for a DEA undercover operation that ultimately involved the CIA, producing the first documented evidence of the communist Sandinista government's involvement in cocaine trafficking, according to court testimony from DEA agents.
Barry Seal was killed after revealing his involvement in flying cargo planes loaded with drugs for the CIA into the famous Mena Arkansas 10,000 foot rural runway (during Governor Clinton’s term).

  Barry Seal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seal also ran a large drug smuggling ring out of Mena Arknsas that was rumoured to be sanctioned by state and federal officials such as Georgw H. Bush and then Govenor Bill Clinton.
Seal had also been used by the DEA and CIA in an attempted sting operation against the Sandinistan government in Nicaragua.
Seal testified that pictures taken during the trip showed Sandinistan officials brokering a cocaine deal with members of Colombia’s drug cartel, although the poor quality of the pictures meant that Seal’s eyewitness account was the primary evidence for the claim.

Was a drug runner for the CIA, operating out of the Mena airport, Barry Seal had reportedly kept in contact with Bill Clinton's head of security at the governor's mansion, Raymond "Buddy" Young, an ex rodeo clown who served as the number 2 man at FEMA within the Clinton administration.
Following his fall from CIA grace, Seal was sentenced to live at a Rehab Center by a judge who also prohibited Seal to neither have any guns or to employ any bodyguards.
Seal was involved with Oliver North within the Reagan administration (the Iran/Contra scandle) and a failed operation in 1972 shipping plastic explosives for anti-Castro forces.

 BARRY SEAL PURCHASED A MINESWEEPER
Sam Dalton, the New Orleans-based attorney for three Colombian hitmen convicted of assassinating Barry Seal in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1986 has told TV producer Daniel Hopsicker that on the night of Seal's murder the FBI threatened local police to release the contents of Seal's Cadillac.
When the contents of Seal's trunk was brought into evidence at the murder trial--after the judge had threatened the federal government with contempt-- it changed the picture of Barry Seal as a free-lancing drug trafficker.
Barry Seal first appeared on the front page of the Washington Times on July 17, 1984 in a picture showing his participation in a CIA sting of the Nicaraguan Sandinistas.

Seal helped in an assortment of cases, helping the US government obtain 17 criminal convictions, including those of Norman Saunders, prime minister of the Turks and Caicos Islands, in March 1985, and three upper-level members of the Medellin cartel.
Seal told investigators that between March 1984, and August 1985, he made a quarter-million dollars smuggling up to 15,000 kilos of cocaine while working for the DEA, and another $575,000 when the DEA let him keep the money from one shipment.
Barry had openly said to many people that he had hired and trained a lot of the pilots on that operation, and he had the goods on Bush and others.

 The Crimes of Mena
Emile Camp, one of Seal's pilots and a witness to some of his most significant dealings, was killed on a mountainside near Mena in 1985 in the unexplained crash of one of those planes that had once belonged to Air America.
Seal's financial records show from the early eighties, for example, instances of daily deposits of $50,000 or more, and extensive use of an offshore foreign bank in the Caribbean, as well as financial institutions in Arkansas and Florida.
Seal was scarcely alone in his extensive smuggling operation based in Mena from 1981 to 1986, commonly described in both federal and state law-enforcement files as one of the largest drug-trafficking operations in the United States at the time, if not in the history of the drug trade.

"Barry had bribed the government to get out, but then there was an election in the middle of it, and he had to pay off a whole new set of officials," she said.
Be that as it may, Barry Seal supposedly convinced the DEA that he needed a Fairchild C-123K ex-military transport to maintain his relationship with the Medellin Cartel.
Seal set off on the second leg of his kamikaze mission after having loaded the "Fat Lady" with a Cartel "wish list" of Trix breakfast cereal, water skis, bicycles, outboard motors, VCRs, pantyhose, and other goodies that were hard to come by in the arid supermarkets of Nicaragua Libre.

 Why Does George W. Bush Fly in Drug Smuggler Barry Seal's Airplane?
Seal's planes would fly from Mena to Medellin Cartel airstrips in the mountains of Colombia and Venezuela, make refueling stops in Panama and Honduras, and then return to Mena, where, en route, the planes would drop parachute-equipped duffel bags loaded with cocaine over Seal-controlled farms in Louisiana.
The effects of Barry Seal's efforts to take weapons one way and bring drugs the other were soon visible, in ruined lives in the U.S. and in the maimed bodies appearing all over Central America.
Other documents located by Hopsicker confirm that Glick was also actively helping Seal purchase ocean-going vessels for use in drug smuggling activities and as stationary platforms for the CIA to use off the coast of Nicaragua in covert operations.

 BARRY SEAL - Judge Set To Rule In Dispute Over Seal Tax [Free Republic]
Seal was suspected of being the head of a large drug-smuggling organization consisting of some 60 people operating in six or seven states and several foreign countries," Thomasson said.
Seal most often used the alias "Bill Elders" in business dealings, but also was known as "Gordo" and "Thunder Thighs" to members of his organization, Thomasson said.
In lengthy cross-examination, attorney Barry L. Lieberman accused Thomasson and the state police of having a "strong distaste" and a bias against Seal because of his stealth as a drug trafficker and resourcefulness as a federal witness.

 Mena/Barry Seal
Seal had been working with the DEA for 3 years when they were murdered.
We are well aware of when Barry Seal was murdered, but it would be unreasonable for anyone to claim that a business as lucrative as Seal's would be shut down because the CEO died.
Bottoms also says Seal claimed to work for the CIA when it was beneficial for him to make that claim, yet at other times, Seal tried to distance himself from any connection with the CIA.

 Asa and Me
Seal was being watched so closely that state and federal officials in Arkansas, including Asa Hutchinson, knew of his move to Arkansas, almost from the moment his first aircraft arrived.
By Seal's own account, his gross income in the year and a half after he became an informant —; while he was based at Mena and while Asa Hutchinson was the federal prosecutor in Fort Smith, 82 miles away — was three-quarters of a million dollars.
Seal's most important court appearance was to come in 1986, when he was scheduled to testify at the trial of Jorge Ochoa Vasques.

"Barry and the Boys" is written to appeal to the serious student of Deep Political arrangements as well as the "casual interest" reader looking for something to help him or her understand today's news while simultaneously being entertained.
"Barry and the Boys" is a chronicle of American governmental lying-to both the media and, worse, to the legislative branch of their own government all in the name of countering an evil, as they saw it, greater than the evil they were perpetrating on the American people.
The only negatives about "Barry and the Boys" that I saw, were the final chapters dealing with individuals connected with Barry Seal's "business" and the myriad interconnections of the major players.
