Reagan-Bush Drug Legacy in CentAm

Two grisly massacres in Guatemala -- the murders of three Salvadoran legislators and then the killing of four policemen who had confessed to the first killings -- reflect a legacy dating back to the 1980s when Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush put Central America's ideological struggles ahead of enforcing drug laws. The Reagan-Bush team let drug traffickers corrupt the region's security services, in part, to protect the Nicaraguan contra rebels and right-wing governments. March 6, 2007
