Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA Hardcover – February 1, 1994

This book was an eye opener: The Contra training going on in Nella, AR and the gun making going on, buy the jamming M-16 for pennies, re-tool the mechanism and resell to the black op programs - Gov. Clinton was in on the take, Barry Seal's drug running a cover for the real weapons business. Criminals from the top of our government. The "Sea Spray" program that could make Seal's planes "go dark" and cross borders invisible an excellent primer for some of those plane tricks of 9/11. Reed's escape from the clutches of the CIA is an American story that's going on all over the world right now. Barry Seal was an American of the 1st water - independent, skilled, gambling risk taker that loved the game of intelligence - assassinated - knew too much about the Bush sons and their drug business.

This is an excellent resource for this topic and it comes directly from a CIA operative. Reed provides a tremendous amount of detail about these types of covert operations. I didn't give it a perfect rating for a few reasons. First, I felt that this book needed to be more concise. Second, there were a few stories in the book that I didn't believe. In particular, I'm referring to his personal meetings with Bill Clinton.

Overall, this was an excellent book, but I wish that Reed hadn't included so much content that felt to me like it was covering his butt. Let me explain. I didn't believe that he "suddenly" discovered in the 1980s that the CIA's allies were involved in drug trafficking. Reed went into a lot of detail about his time as an Air America pilot for the CIA in Vietnam. Long story short, anyone who researches the link between the CIA, Air America, and opium trafficking will find a well-documented link. However, I understand why Reed would convey such a narrative. There was no need to incriminate himself and the federal government had him in the crosshairs. This book thoroughly proves that Reed was burned by our intelligence community. He was thrown under the bus and railroaded through federal court. Reed also provided some excellent details that proved that our government covered up this scandal.

This is an extremely important book for everyone, not just Clinton or Bush biographers, journalists or political journalists.

Terry Reed goes into detail over the Clinton/Bush/Oliver North/Barry Seal drug smuggling of the 1980's ... huge cocaine trade that all of the above were involved.

Ever wonder why the mainstream, establishment media has never told you this? NYT, WashPost, WSJ, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX ... they are all CONTROLLED.

Just like Bush, Clinton and Ollie North are COMPROMISED.

This blockbuster book sold 200,000 copies when it first came out - all on word of mouth with no major publishing house and no major reviews in places like the NY Times Review of Books, etc.

Bill Clinton had thoroughly corrupted the government and law enforcement agencies in Arkansas. Mena, AR, was the HQ for illegal weapon shipments by the CIA to the contras with cocaine coming back on the roundtrip! Bill's buddy Dan Lasater was importing cocaine and money laundering through his bond business and getting a cut of the Mena CIA drug importation. Bill protected Lasater and Don Tyson, another major drug dealer.

Bill protected his buddies who made huge cocaine drug profits; in return they gave Bill political support. Terry Reed, a former pilot for the contras, tells in his book about the time (4-19-86) outside Juanita's Restaurant that Gov. Bill, while smoking a joint, tries to talk pilot Terry Reed into going to Mexico to set up operations for the contras.

Felix Rodriguez would later try to get L.D. Brown to assassinate Terry Reed while he was in Mexico. (see L.D. Brown's book Crossfire for that) L.D. Brown was Clinton's top state trooper who he got into the CIA; Brown later got cold feet at the moment of the actual planned assassination of Reed and did not do it. But they wanted him to, and Clinton was setting up Terry Reed.

A sampler:

"I wish I could go in your place. Terry, these guys are counting on you and they're leaning on me to get you to go. I'm not standing in your way. I just want to tell you that if you still wanna go to Mexico, you'd be leaving here with my blessing. There's no hard feeling about what happened here. I wanted you to hear that coming from me."

"Clinton took another deep drag [on his joint], held it and exhaled. In a raspy voice, with smoke still coming out of his mouth, Clinton added, "Sure you don't want some of this? This is good ____. We sure do grow lotsa good things besides watermelons here in Arkansas." [Terry Reed, Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA, p.264]

Just a few moments before, Bill had "got up from his chair and went to the back of the van, returning with a half-smoked joint. He reseated himself. He took a long, deep drag. After holding it in until his cheeks bulged, he then exhaled slowly and deliberately.

He extended his arm and offered the joint to Reed. Terry shook his head and gestured.

"Go on. I'm the commander in chief here; you won't get busted," the governor [Bill] said with a straight face while exhaling." [Compromised, p. 264]

One of the best political books I have ever read. Could not put it down, got watery eye's reflecting on what Terry Reed and his family went through. Sheds a lot of light on Barry Seal, gives a good insight as to why Barry may have been murdered. Fills in a lot of the pieces into Felix Rodriquez and Luis Posada; I was particularly interested in the info on Felix Rodriquez as he is connected so closely with figures from the JFK assassination, his VERY close ties to GHW Bush, just another reminder of how dirty Bush really is, a high criminal. Stunning revelations on Bill Clinton. Bought another book from reading Compromised by L.D. Brown, one of Clinton's most important Arkansas State Police officers, (the book is called CROSSFIRE). A must read especially in light of Hillary maybe running for President.

Very interesting, some information disturbing, a lot of it I knew or surmised, certainly gave me a different perspective of geo-politics. The depth of evil
supposedly "good" people will stoop to is not surprising but it is unpleasant. We have individuals and groups of people who think they know what is best for others and God have mercy on anyone who has the integrity and courage to resist. They will stop at NOTHING to gain and keep control over people, and that includes murder, fraud, and various nefarious schemes to wreck the lives of those they deem unworthy of them. The scary thing is: many of them still have far too much power.

This order never arrived but I have read the book before. If you think you would enjoy the in depth tales of a CIA pilot smuggling plane loads of cocaine and cash for US Presidents then this is your book. I enjoyed it very much but if you are not accustomed to the tales of the underside of CIA
and presidential activities it is quite shocking.
