science Two husbands, one home. That is what the Colombian woman who prepared dinner for Ypsilanti resident Ivan Harner's tour group had lost because of her country's war on drugs.

Paramilitary groups killed both her husbands and the herbicide meant to destroy the country's coca crops accidentally ruined her fruits and vegetables. Fed up with the fighting and the spraying of herbicides, the dark, skinny, sunken-eyed woman joined the guerrilla army. The woman later left the army and went into hiding to protect herself and her seven children.

lies
"It is hard to separate internal displacement due to conflict and what may have happened due to spraying," said State Department official Wes Carrington."

it isn't hard. it's the same! the spraying is part of the conflict that Plan Colombia is escalating. The Plan makes no separation between the "drug producers" and the "leftist groups" which have been part of the Colombian conflict.

So how can you say that Plan Colombia has nothing to do with the "conflict"?

In any case, 40 years of civil war didn't create a desert in the amazon, didn't poison the land and the fauna and the childresn. "La violencia" certainly was there before Plan Colombia but now its crazier than ever thanks to PC

"The U.S. did quite a bit of research before contributing to Plan Colombia, Carrington said. "No assistance is given to countries with human rights violations," he said."

- witness the $43 million sent to the Taliban.. they are all about huMAN rights..
