Texas sheriff linked to a rogue US intelligence unit under criminal investigation

A Texas sheriff who once busted Willie Nelson linked to a rogue US intelligence unit under criminal investigation. Court filings suggest silencers sold to US Navy for $1.6m, even though they cost only $10,000 to make, were part of a top-secret operation to help arm Navy SEAL Team 6, the unit that killed Osama bin Laden.

Down the rabbit hole we go! More at the link.
