 Eden Pastora Gomez, "Commandante Zero," a Sandinista commander who turned against the revolution, led the Costa Rica-based [[ARDE]] coalition's military effort from 1982 to 1984, was the main recipient of the [[Central Intelligence Agency]]'s money for the Southern Front until it was cut off, and in 1984 and 1985 received aircraft, money and housing from men who were or became drug traffickers.[^1][^2] The CIA's Inspector General recorded that the CIA ended its relationship with him in October 1984, within two weeks of the first reporting on ARDE's dealings with the trafficker [[George Morales|Jorge Morales]], and that other factors also weighed in the decision; Pastora said the drug reporting was a CIA effort to push him out.[^1][^3]
