4. Yes, a close associate of GWB and Gonzo
here is the Wiki on him, "House of Death" and all:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Sutton

The "House of Death" case

Sutton's role in the "House of Death" case remains unresolved. Lalo, a paid informant of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), part of the Department of Homeland Security, and DEA, had infiltrated the Juarez Mexican drug cartel. In this situation he worked with Heriberto Santillan-Tabares and helped him to murder people in Mexico. Lalo had forehand knowledge of planned killings and informed his US handlers of the intended crime.<2> Local handlers were horrified that their informant was involved in murder and got advice from higher authorities. Sutton has been named as a key US official who was aware of the murderous activities of the informant, but failed to intervene.<3><2> Killings took place until January 2004. Once the Mexican government got notice, a mass grave containing at least twelve bodies was found in a house on 3633 Calle Parsonieros, Ciudad Juárez, dubbed the "House of Death."<2> Santillon was convicted of trafficking by Sutton, but never accused of murder, and Lalo, the former informant for the US government, sits in a high security prison awaiting extraditon to Mexico, according to him a death sentence.<2>
