The Last Kilo and Hotel Cocaine: CIA's Cuba connection

People Magazine is reporting that the book The Last Kilo explains how the CIA recruited Cuban refugees in Miami to import cocaine in support of the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. OK so we know about Gary Webb, Blandon and Freeway Rickie. Now we see the CIA's ties to the Los Muchachos.

Rafael “Chi Chi” Quintero was the CIA guy that recruited Cubans to import cocaine into the USA. On that note, the series Hotel Cocaine tells the story of Roman Compte, one of the Cubans the CIA recruited to run the famous Mutiny Hotel in Miami which became the heart of the cocaine trade in the late 70s and early 80s. All this CIA cocaine never stopped.
