#1 Ooooh! Does he have any computers or cell phones that can be hacked into? Our undercover agents and informants have quietly been doing a bang-up job for a while, it appears. Well done, DEA!

#2 I don't understand why the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency)is involved in gun running busts. I don't really care what agency brings this bad boy down--it just seems surprising the DEA is involved.

#4 I would think that the connection to "Colombian Rebels" put the file on a DEA desk.

#5 Ever since Pablo Escobar, the DEA has been interested in anyone trying to sell guns to either the narcoterrorists or the local commies which operate as rent-an-army to the narcos. Plus, when the DEA catches someone and that someone is facing life in maximum security in the US, that person tends to rat out everyone that he can think of. Since so many of the narcos, commies, terrorists, and mafias are intertwined, one high-level snitch can give us all sorts of interesting people.
