"roberto suarez supplied barry seal's dope. you can trace it backwards or forwards, but this IS the main line. ollie north's fingerprints are all over bolivia." And Colombia. The Salvadoran phone records of the Grasheim safe house revealed regular daily and weekly calls to Oliver North’s and George Bush’s offices in the White House.8 The Bush office had to confirm, since it couldn ’t hide, that Rodriguez had been a frequent visitor of both Gregg and Bush at the White House for high-level confabs with Steele, North and others.9 Castillo’s prostitute informants at the safe house described many all-nighters “doing cocaine, having sex, and shooting rifles” with Contra pilots, government officials - and Oliver North. Tim Ross, the BBC’s correspondent in Colombia for twenty years, revealed that “In late 84, early 85, North brought five Afghani military advisers to Colombia on a speaking tour, three left, two stayed. The two that stayed were chemists who introduced heroin manufacturing to Colombia. He also brought in an Israeli agronomist who helped to cultivate opium poppies.” Ross was summoned to the US Embassy in Bogotá and told, “You’re going to lay off this story or you are going to die” by an “ex-marine, the type of guy who used to cut Vietcong throats with his thumbnail.” Ross, who knew he had BBC clout, ran the story anyway.
