The Mena Connection
An independent group of researchers in Arkansas are charging that
Governor Bill Clinton is covering up an airport used by the CIA and major
cocaine smugglers in a remote corner of the Ozark mountains. According to
Deborah Robinson of In These Times, the Inter mountain Regional Airport in Mena,
Arkansas continues to be the hub of operations for people like
assassinated cocaine kingpin Barry Seal as well as government intelligence
operations linked to arms and drug smuggling.
In the 1980's, the Mena airport
became one of the world's largest aircraft refurbishing centers, providing
services to planes from many countries.Researchers claim that the largest
consumers of aircraft refurbishing services are drug smugglers and intelligence
agencies involved in covert activities.In fact, residents of Mena, Arkansas,
have told reporters that former marine Lt. Colonel Oliver North was a frequent
visitor during the 1980's. Eugene Hasenfus, a pilot who was shot down in a
Contra supply plane over Nicaragua in 1986, was also seen in town renting cargo
vehicles.
A federal Grand Jury looking into
activities at the Mena airport refused to hand down any indictments after drug
running charges were made public.Deborah Robinson says that Clinton had "ignored
the situation" until he began his presidential campaign." Clinton then said he
would provide money for a state run investigation of the Mena airport. But
according to Robinson, the promise of an investigation was never followed up by
Clinton's staff. In fact, a local Arkansas state prosecutor blasted Clinton's
promise of an investigation, comparing it to "spitting on a forest fire."
