This is AMAZING investigative journalism, which was previously funded by much of the MSM (West 57th was CBS's program, until it was "killed" in 1989). It's expensive.

Architects of that smuggling arrangement continued working, well into the time of the Bush Jr's Presidency, and helped drag the US into a war with Iraq.
