mmmmm not so sure US operatives are that good JG

If they were, there would be bigger targets than
Assange and Snowden for them to focus on.
How about Putin himself? He's been a pain in the US' butt for decades.

And if US operatives were that serious about the "war on drugs", they would of
knocked El Chapo and his cartel a long time ago instead of sending Sean Penn to interview him instead.
Yes, he was arrested not long after that but the dude's still alive and well, running his operation from prison.
Probably the safest place for him in one respect but easy pickings for the US if they paid the right people.
So why haven't they? Because America and it's governing bodies LOVE cocaine and heroin, that's why.

And what about Castro and Co? What a farce that was. Bay of Pigs was staged.
They couldn't knock him off either, even after sending a female spy who lived with him!

And just to add a nice conspiracy theory as well - I'm not so sure the Bin Laden raid
ended the way they said it did either. Too much of that story was concealed with no outside witnesses
to validate that any of that was absolutely true;
Threw him overboard after giving him a traditional muslim burial ceremony at sea? Yeah, sure........
