And VP Bush was basically running the cocaine-for-arms operation, according to the various accounts of the agents and operatives who stumbled onto its true nature.

The only federal agency Seal ever worked with was the DEA. Seal's sworn testimony was that he had no knowledge of ever working for the CIA. In debriefings, after his plea bargain, he never told me or anyone else he was a CIA asset or had worked for any agency other than the DEA. Our task force never developed any evidence that the CIA was involved with Seal in drug smuggling. There is not one iota of credible evidence that Seal ever worked for the CIA or assisted them in any operations. And CIA denied any connection with Seal.
According to Terry Reed in Compromised, this was when Oliver North was running around the country telling people he was a CIA officer. I've always wondered if North had a genuine role with the CIA, perhaps only in connection with the cocaine-for-arms effort—or if the "CIA agent" claim was just a cover when North was in the field recruiting pilots (like Reed), planes (like Reed's) and money etc., in the illegal Coca-Contra scheme being run out the White House NSC.
Nordic, yeah, try to get the shooting script! or even an early rough cut if anyone saved one. The delay & "makeover" sounds suspicious as hell.
And I don't recall that it was ever proved that it was necessarily hitmen from Colombia who killed Seal...was it? Seems at least as likely that Seal was offed by "the Enterprise."
