Edgar Chamorro was a former FDN director who publicly confirmed that Norwin Meneses was a Contra leader involved in cocaine trafficking to fund the war. Chamorro told the San Francisco Examiner in 1986 that he and FDN director Frank Arana flew to San Francisco in October 1982 to select leaders for the Contra support committee.1
Public Confirmation
Chamorro's public statements were among the earliest confirmations from a Contra insider that the drug trafficking and the Contra war were connected. His testimony corroborated what Carlos Cabezas and other witnesses had described about Meneses's dual role as both a Contra political leader and a major drug trafficker. The fact that a former FDN director was willing to speak publicly about the connection added significant weight to the allegations that the mainstream media had spent years dismissing.2
