~AN EXCERPT~ The mission of the Department of Homeland Security is “to ensure a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards.” What was the D.H.S. doing in Jamaica, hundreds of miles from U.S. shores, passing on intelligence to Jamaican forces as they stormed Tivoli Gardens? Was intelligence-sharing the full extent of our government’s involvement with the operation? If U.S. forces saw evidence of the massacre as it was unfolding, did they make any attempt to intervene? And given that we were the ones who insisted on Coke’s arrest, what are our obligations to the families of innocent people killed in the process? Releasing the Tivoli video would be a good start to answering these questions. The U.S. government should share what it knows. newyorker/news/news-desk/as-jamaican-drug-lord-is-sentenced-u-s-still-silent-on-massacre
