...whole, they've made a pretty good job of it. For example, they posit the scandalous possibility that pictures of Princess Margaret, engaging in a threesome on a Caribbean island have been stored in one of the boxes by a real-life villain named Michael X, a drug dealer posing as a black power advocate. He's using the snaps to protect himself from crown prosecution. There are also pictures of establishment figures caught in flagrante in a bondage brothel and a ledger recording the payoffs made to the police by a porn kingpin. The movie plays the robbery...
...freeze may explain why Bout was willing to stick his neck out for new business. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency's (DEA) sting operation came together relatively quickly. According to the charging documents filed with the Southern District of New York, a confidential source working for the DEA emailed an associate of Bout in November to arrange for an arms shipment FARC.

...Colombia, still embroiled in a four-decade-old civil war over its deep social inequalities, argues that it wouldn't have had to violate Ecuador's border if Correa, like Chavez, hadn't been harboring FARC militants in his territory. The FARC "is a drug cartel that kills civilians," Colombian Vice President Francisco Santos said in a TIME interview last month. "It's like al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hizballah - where are we supposed to draw the line for our security...
...Ecuador as well as Venezuela; but Correa insists his military has driven 47 guerrilla camps out of the country - and aides ask why, if Ecuador is really aiding the FARC, did Washington just extend the country's eligibility in the Andean Trade Preference Act, which requires a commitment to drug interdiction. Either way, if the hemisphere excuses the Colombian raid, it would set a precedent that "endangers any one of our countries," said Correa while meeting in Brazil with President Lula before going to Caracas Wednesday to huddle with Chavez...
