But is all this real or a reverse sting dreamed up by the DEA?  It seems a
little odd that those mean old Colombians would hire a German and a former US
Army type to supervise the loading of an aircraft in Colombia for a flight to
New York.  Wait a minute--that's beyond the range of piston aircraft. 

It's one thing to interdict a narcotics organization.  It's something else to
dream up spy novel scenarios, pay informants $$$ to entice knuckleheads to
sign up, and then announce arrests.
