Spy
9/28/97
A class action lawsuit filed on behalf of all DEA agents (but not the
agency itself) alleges widespread wiretaps of DEA personnel by the CIA.
DEA Special Agent Richard A. Horn, the named plaintiff in the case, discovered
that his home phone had been tapped when he had occasion to see a confidential
memo in which his words, spoken over his phone to a fellow DEA agent, appeared
in quotes. Plaintiffs' attorney Brian Leighton of Clovis, CA says, "These
agencies have a pattern and practice of eavesdropping on DEA agents' and
employees' conversations while they are serving the government overseas."
(DRCNet doesn't claim to have information as to why the CIA would be
tapping DEA phones, but if we were protecting drug shipments coming into
this country, we'd certainly want to know what the DEA was talking about.)
