DEA

The DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) is an UnAmerican alphabet soup agency. Its purpose is to give DEA agents jobs. It exists in a strange symbiosis with the CIA. Without drug cartels, they wouldn't need as many DEA agents. Without the DEA, the CIA wouldn't need to expend as much effort to back up their drug cartels. That would actually be bad, because the CIA's objectives are to preserve their jobs and to waste money.
