<<< In the past five years, nearly a million acres of land in Colombia has been blitzed by
pesticides and fumigants, rendered as sterile as the fields of Carthage after Scipio
Africanus' last cruel visit. But over the same period production of cocaine in Colombia
has more than tripled. >>>

<<< But from the beginning Plan Colombia was only ostensibly about drugs. It was
really a way to use the drug war to underwrite the Colombian military's savage war
against the FARC and other rebel groups and secure US control over Colombian oil,
gas and mineral reserves. The so-called eradication programs have targeted areas
controlled by the FARC, rather than even larger swaths of land held by paramilitaries,
serving as vicious proxy-warriors for the Colombian government. >>>
