Really any trouble the cartels give their own government(s) down in Central and South America I consider wars by proxy on behalf of the CIA. The cartel's top members are all protected CIA assets. That doesn't mean that Washington and the Pentagon don't actually support any particular Central and/or South American government. It's just that the said drug troubles of those governments can be partly traced by to rogue elements in CIA middle management.
