US governmental agencies want to eliminate the middle men so they can reap more profits.

The former german politican Andreas von Bülow wrote a interesting book, how the intelligence finances "black operations" by the profits, which result from the control of the drug business. Bülow: "Seventy percent of the drug trade is licensed by the intelligence agencies," von B'low said, and they are interested in keeping the drug traffic "running through their mills." source: http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/BOL403A.html
