- DRUGS FOR YEN. Colombia's Cali drug cartel, seeking to beat
- out the rival Medellin cartel, has been recruiting U.S.
- traffickers willing to go on a long journey. Destination?
- Japan, a nation ripe for exploitation. Cocaine sells there for
- $85,000 a kilogram, in contrast to $17,000 in Miami. Japanese
- police, according to a secret Drug Enforcement Administration
- cable, do not have a simple computer system to store criminal
- histories, much less one that can analyze telephone toll
- records or trace money-laundering trails.
