Latin American Allies of U.S.: Docile and Reliable No Longer
By CHRISTOPHER MARQUIS

Published: January 9, 2004

It is a region that spurned Washington on the war in Iraq, is demanding better treatment for immigrant workers and continues to block a hemispheric trade agreement that some nations, led by Brazil, view as unfair.
