	Why Support of Colombia is Crucial to the War on Drugs, by Amb. James Mack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The State Department has worked with the Departments of Justice and Treasury and with nations around the world to strengthen controls which could thwart the drug traffickers' attempts to launder their funds and to investigate and prosecute those who are involved in moving criminal proceeds.
		Embassy Bogota contracted Colombia's leading toxicologist to evaluate several hundred reports of health problems in southern Colombia, and he found those cases to be inconsistent with glyphosate exposure.
		We believe Plan Colombia will result in a major disruption of the cocaine industry and traffickers will undoubtedly try to relocate as their operations in southern Colombia are disrupted.

	Fumigation-An Attack on the Ecology and People of Colombia
		A fundamental part of Plan Colombia is to create the image of ‘narco-guerrillas’ being deeply involved in drug trafficking and then use this as the justification to heavily militarise the region and subsequently blur the lines between counter-insurgency and counter-narcotics operations.
		Plan Colombia and the ‘war on drugs’ is obviously an attempt by the US to ‘pacify’ the region and regain control – a strategy which closely resembles US operations in Central America in the 1980s when the alleged Soviet threat was the covering pretext.
		In short Plan Colombia, as well as the recently announced Andean Regional Initiative aid package, is an effort to reassert US control in the Andean region and the first step towards this objective is the annihilation of all forms of resistance – the most potent of which is surely the FARC guerrilla movement.

		Responsibility for violence against trade unionists was attributed partly to the military and police or paramilitary groups said to cooperate with them or enjoy their acquiescence, who perceive trade union activities as linked to the subversion and, consequently, regard the members of such organizations as "internal enemy", and partly to the guerrilla groups.
