Bolivia: U.S. Warns Against Candidate
American aid to Bolivia could be in danger if Evo Morales, an Indian leader
who opposes Washington-backed efforts to eradicate drug crops, wins next
month's runoff for president, the Bush administration's Latin America
policy chief, Otto Reich, said. Mr. Reich's comments came after the
American ambassador, Manuel Rocha, gave a similar warning before the
election, which backfired and helped raise support for Mr. Morales.
