- Al Martin, one of America's foremost government whistleblowers
and a retired Navy Lt. Commander, claims that Porter Goss, the Bush-Cheney
choice to be DCI (CIA Director), was active in covering up the CIA's Iran-Contra
era narcotics trafficking in Florida, while he was a member of the Vice
Presidential Task Force on Drugs in Miami in 1983 then headed by George
Bush Sr.
-
- Martin, author of his tell-all memoir "The Conspirators:
Secrets of an Iran Contra Insider," writes in his column "How
CBS Got Stung; And More on Porter Goss" (Sep 20) that "people
have been asking about the connection of the Bobby Merkle story and how
it ties in with Porter Goss, who will be the new CIA Director. It was dubbed
that because of then-United States Attorney (Tampa) Bobby Merkle. This
was the 1982 Lee County, Florida narcotics trafficking case. The allegation
was that the Lee County Sheriff's Department facilitate Iran-Contra related
narcotics activities on behalf of the CIA and that Bobby Merkle acted to
cover it up.
-
- "Porter Goss was involved in that facilitation,"
Martin continues. "He was, but they'll never be able to prove that.
You've got to put Porter Goss's name on something real to fit him into
it. And what nobody has noticed except for me, because I remember it: Everyone
forgets that Porter was a member of the Vice Presidential task force on
drugs in 1983 in Miami. The Task Force was instituted to prevent any further
interception of CIA authorized narcotics trafficking. Porter Goss was a
commission member. That's what gave him the legitimacy. There was also
Miami Customs Director Billy von Raab, Miami DEA Director Tommy Cash, Miami
Immigration Director George Weiss. And George Bush Sr. who was Vice President
at the time was the chairman.

- "How many people know Bobby Merkle's story, what
that story was all about? If you read my book, then you'd know," Martin
writes. "I've got the Florida connections down pretty well.
