But is all this real or a reverse sting dreamed up by the DEA? It seems a little odd that those mean old Colombians would hire a German and a former US Army type to supervise the loading of an aircraft in Colombia for a flight to New York. Wait a minute--that's beyond the range of piston aircraft. It's one thing to interdict a narcotics organization. It's something else to dream up spy novel scenarios, pay informants $$$ to entice knuckleheads to sign up, and then announce arrests.
