...Deaver affair has also raised some political ruckus in Canada, where opposition Liberal Party members suggested that Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's government may have knowingly violated U.S. laws by hiring Deaver. In particular, they questioned the possible role played by Allan Gotlieb, Canada's highly regarded Ambassador to Washington, in recruiting Deaver. The House of Commons' External Affairs Committee will decide this week whether to launch a formal investigation...

Worse still, the so-called mule skinners who are caught with the shipments seldom turn out to be Mr. Big. "The people who drive the vehicles are usually very poor and uneducated," says one U.S. drug agent. "There is so much poverty in Mexico that traffickers have an unlimited labor pool. The drivers almost always keep their mouths shut, since they have been told that their wives and kids will be blown away otherwise...
