COLOMBIAN COCAINE
U.S. Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) is right to wonder if the
billions of tax dollars spent on Plan Colombia have actually reduced
the importation of cocaine into the U.S. What we do know is that the
aerial spraying has poisoned food crops, soil and people and has been
a contributing factor in the displacement of as many as 3 million
rural Colombians from their homes.
