- Celerino_Castillo_III abstract "Celerino Castillo (born 1949) is a former agent for the United States Drug Enforcement Administration.His father was a decorated veteran of World War II, who had been shot six times by the Japanese. In 1970, Castillo was told by his father that he was expected to fight in the Vietnam War, even though as an only son, he was not required to. As a loyal and dutiful son, Castillo followed the orders of his father and distinguished himself in the jungles of Vietnam. While in Vietnam, Castillo witnessed firsthand the effects of drug abuse on his soldiers. He vowed to return to U.S. so that he could fight against drugs. Subsequently, in 1979, he joined the DEA as an enforcement agent fighting in the front-line trenches of America's so called \"'War on Drugs'\", and is best known for blowing the whistle on the CIA-backed arms-for-drugs trade (Spearheaded by Colonel Oliver North) that was used to prop up the 1980s Contra counter-insurgency in Nicaragua, and for the book that he published on that subject, entitled \"'Powder Burns: Cocaine, Contras and the Drug War'\". In 2008 (three years before \"'Operation Fast and Furious'\" came into the public light) Castillo made the revelation to reporter Bill Conroy that ATF agents were participating in the smuggling of high powered weapons into Mexico. According to Castillo the source of that information was a government informer who was later murdered.In March 2008, Celerino Castillo was arrested for selling firearms without a permit (selling legally-purchased weapons without a firearms-dealer permit). He expressed his belief at that time that he was being targeted by the government in retaliation for his long-standing efforts to hold government agencies responsible for their felonious activities. He pled guilty on the advice of his attorney and was sentenced to 37 months in prison. It was later revealed that his attorney was, at the time of his plea, suspended by the State Bar of Texas for misapplying clients’ funds. According to Castillo that was not the only impropriety in the handling of his criminal case. In a letter to the judge (Furgeson) who had overseen the case and handed down the sentence, he stated that the prosecutor had lied to the judge at his sentencing. He is scheduled for release in April, 2012.".
