In the recent RM, some people seemed to allege that it is a proven fact that the CIA has conducted drug trafficking. If that's true, the lead section should say it, but it doesn't, and I haven't found any proven instances of such activity described in the article body. Is there some part of the article that confirms this, or are the proven elements just a matter of "turning a blind eye" to what others were doing, sometimes supporting other people or organizations that were trafficking drugs (along the lines of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", or the idea of "complicity" versus "culpability" as described in a quote in the article), or the actions of individual agents who "went rogue"? — BarrelProof (talk) 19:43, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be much more solid to say that the CIA intentionally sought to create conditions of increased drug trafficking. If that can be attested, then I start to wonder why it matters quite as much (for the purposes of most people who are interested in the subject) if it were agents, assets, or otherwise people unaffiliated with the CIA who were literally moving product.

However, I want to make clear that I have not adequately attested or proven the above—and I would not be comfortable with stating it in an article without multiple clear citations. Remsense留20:18, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't buy the "intentionally sought to create conditions of increased drug trafficking". Most RS says it was cases of turning a blind eye to the activities of allies/assets. It happened on both sides of the Iron Curtain in the later stages of the Cold War and was far from some master plan to raise cash for covert agencies or flood ghettos with drugs. (Which is what a lot of people pushing this stuff are getting at.)Rja13ww33 (talk) 20:08, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is pathetic. CIA's drug trafficking is so obvious, you can literally point to any route of cocaine or heroin smuggling trade, and CIA's fingerprints all over it will be the most clear aspect about it. 198.140.189.134 (talk) 08:30, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some editor, who I can't recall, was working with me about Nugan Hand, and I was under the impression the Nugan Hand saga was going to be incorporated into this article. It really should be because the scandal was big in Australia in the early 80s and there were swirling rumours of CIA and drug trafficking allegations - though these were doubted by the Royal Commission.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:38, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. A huge story at the time. And if you tell that to the young people today, they won't believe you. The relevant content from [1] could be copied across or a fresh approach taken. Burrobert (talk) 02:56, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think Nugan Hand Bank should be the main article but there should be a short section here about the bank and the hair-raising allegations about the bank here. Even if the allegations were untrue. But this article is about allegations, so even allegations from Australia are relevant. Relegating the bank to a "See Also" is invalid.--Jack Upland (talk) 05:02, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
