MSNBC: Special about Colombia. WHAT THE US IS DOING THERE NOW.
Interesting and sad. Oligarchy's effects on a country... I almost don't have what it takes to watch. But they are talking about the increased "investment" by the USA in the violence in the country.
Of course, it is not going to be "the" TRUTH but worth a look in my opinion.
Bush is not about to advertise how much further he is getting us involved in that quagmire. He never even mentions it. Come to think of it, neither does Kerry. Still there is a huge amount of money going into military operations there.
9. One of my friends is a biologist who does research in Columbia
He says that this "war on drugs" is causing significant displacement of Columbians from backcountry regions. These people are fleeing to other countries, including the US. We are destroying their culture because of the way we chose to prosecute the war on drugs.
I only caught the end of the show. The reporter seemed much too perky during the raid on the remote lab. What was her exclamation when they dynamited the place? She acted like it was cool.
