U.S. Drug Fighters Use Outdated Radios
U.S. drug-fighting agents still use radios that can be intercepted by
traffickers, suffer from outdated information on drug movements and are
further hampered because the military gives interdiction low priority, a
Customs Service review says.
The report by retired Army Gen. George Joulwan recommends shifting more
counterdrug operations from the military to the Customs Service.
