The iceman driveth

I commented in another blog that it seemed, umm, odd that the Drug Enforcement Agency would let a man they believed to be using and/or dealing ice drive Governor Benigno R. Fitial around for six* months without telling him.

Fitial thinks it's more. "They don't like me," he told the Marianas Variety and Saipan Tribune.

The Governor suspended CNMI participation in a joint task force with DEA following the strip-search of Chinese passengers on a flight from Shanghai.

"This is politically motivated," he told the Variety. "This happened before the election."

I'm not sure, and I wonder what other people think.

* Today's stories say nine months, but the point remains.
