"Sweep nets 7 in violent drug ring, police say" by Martin Finucane, Globe Staff | October 8, 2009
A hundred police officers fanned out yesterday morning to arrest seven people with ties to a Boston narcotics distribution ring that often engaged in acts of street violence, authorities said....
I never complain when they take drug dealers off the streets.
Now, about the SUITES....
Authorities said the drug ring sold large quantities of marijuana and cocaine in Dorchester, Roxbury, downtown Boston, and Quincy.
I heard the weed sucks.
The investigation conducted by the attorney general’s office, along with state and Boston police, with the help of numerous other law enforcement agencies, was dubbed Operation 1370 because 1,370 degrees is the temperature at which steel melts, Attorney General Martha Coakley....
Now is THAT JUST an INSULT to your 9/11 TRUTH FACE, or WHAT, America?
Coakley said police used the latest in electronic surveillance techniques to target the gang....

WTF? They can't catch the violent perverts?--more--"
And given the DOUBLE-CROSSING, DOUBLE-TALKING FOOLEY of the "DRUG WAR," I'm not that big on the follow-up.
"US charges 7 in North Andover drug raid; Agents say cocaine sent from Mexico" by John R. Ellement, Globe Staff | October 23, 2009
From a North Andover apartment complex, Rancis Osiris Santana allegedly sold cocaine that he had smuggled from Mexico to many on the North Shore, a business that ended when he and six others were arrested earlier this month, according to federal authorities.
Santana, 31, and his six codefendants were arrested inside his apartment on Oct. 9 by Drug Enforcement Administration special agents, who also found 54 kilograms of cocaine that had just been delivered from a Mexican drug supplier, according to federal court records.
Investigators used wiretaps as part of the effort to build the case against Santana and the six others, according to an affidavit filed in US District Court by a DEA special agent.... Acting US Attorney Michael Loucks said in a statement that the arrests were part of Operation Coronado, a nationwide crackdown on Mexican drug gangs.
That's ODD! I was told it was Operation 1,370 two weeks ago!!
So WHY the NAME CHANGE and COVER-UP? Because of what I pointed out?
The investigation is targeting a Mexican cartel known as La Familia Cartel, authorities said. “A case of this magnitude can have a real impact on large-scale drug trafficking organizations such as La Familia and sends a strong message that reaches around the globe - that we will continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute anyone or any group that seeks to infiltrate our communities spreading violence, intimidation, and fear,’’ Loucks said.
Blah, blah, blah.
