Wall Street Journal, 5/3/94:
"Our sources agree ... on a number of things:
There was most likely a CIA-sponsored Contra operation run out of Mena,
as well as a huge parallel cocaine-smuggling operation, money laundering
and a Justice Department coverup. Much of this happened on Mr. Clinton's
watch as governor."
[...]
"Mr. Clinton was asked by a state prosecutor for help to pursue the case ...
Help was promised but never arrived."
[...]
"Mena is a perplexing and difficult story. There is a trail - tens of
millions of dollars in cocaine profits, and we don't know where it
leads. It is a trail that has been blocked by the National Security
Council."
- letter from Bill Plante, CBS News Correspondent and
Michael Singer, Producer, CBS News
