"Peru plans to urge Secretary of State Colin Powell to resume the U.S.-backed anti-drug flights suspended after the Peruvian air force mistakenly shot down an American missionary plane this spring." "Colombian President Andres Pastrana, who is scheduled to meet Powell later Tuesday and Wednesday, also urged Washington to restart the interdiction program..." This is bullshit. [ Post Comment ] |
