Levine has a low opinion of the CIA. This is not uncommon in the DEA,
whose agents often suspect the CIA of following its own agenda and protecting
those drug dealers considered to be intelligence assets. But Levine is
especially upset over the behind-the-scenes mismanagement, disorganization,
negligence, and bureaucratic rivalry that is typical of the much-ballyhooed
war on drugs. It might be comical if the stakes weren't so high. For Levine,
who spent much of his career as an international undercover agent trying to
nail some very nasty people, they stakes were about as high as they can get.
By the time he retired in 1989, Levine felt that he had won the battle but
lost the war.
