The article discusses controversy related to report of Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) on drug-trafficking. It is hardly shocking that the C.I.A.'s Inspector General found no evidence that the agency was connected to Danilo Blandon and Norwin Meneses, the Nicaraguan drug dealers featured in the Mercury News "Dark Alliance" series. The C.I.A. reports that it located no information to support the charge that Blandon and Meneses peddled drugs to raise money for the contras. The C.I.A. promises a second report, on other allegations of contra drug-trafficking and there are contra-drug links more substantial than those described in the Mercury News series.
