the
Week:
Monitoring
the
Colombia
situation
10/3/97
The Week Online has been following the drug war situation in Colombia
for the last several weeks, and we intend to continue covering this side
of the issue. The Latin American drug war is one of the most arrogant manifestations
of U.S. ignorance on drug policy, and has had a devastating impact on political
stability and human rights. Of course, the situation in Colombia is extremely
complex, and many factors in addition to drug policy have contributed to
the nation's seemingly intractable problems.
The Colombia Support Network offers a wealth of information on our southern
neighbor, including a section on drug policy at http://www.igc.apc.org/csn/war.html,
discussing the impact and hypocrisy of the U.S. mandated Colombian drug
war, the possible role of the CIA in drug trafficking, and more.
