Ep. 36: Part II - The Drug War Cover-up: Lies Are Exposed But Still No Justice

This is Part II (Ep. 35) of the three part Drug War Cover-Up series that describes the incidents surrounding the DEA-led drug interdiction operation known as the Ahuas massacre on May 11, 2012.

In Part II, host Karen Spring describes what happened in the weeks and years following the massacre including whether the DEA was held accountable, what happened in Washington, DC in the incident's aftermath, and 10 years later, how the victims feel about the justice process or lack thereof.
