Wouldn't such honesty be refreshing -- but never in this world. Edited from a recent Associated Press release: CIA estimates shows an increase in Colombian cocaine production. (RMC Comment: How does the CIA know this -- in Vietnam and elsewhere it pretty much made up figures to sell/support policy -- it never proved its figures. Recall its estimates said East Germany was economically more productive than West Germany -- take CIA estimates with huge blocks of salt). Drug Czar McCaffrey said about three-fourths of the U.S. aid package would pay for the 63 helicopters and training for two new army counter-drug battalions. The units will "retake" rebel-held southern jungles. While dismissing the ``terrible quagmire issue,'' we recognize leftist rebel units would be legitimate ``objectives'' of U.S. assisted Colombian troops... Armed resistance is expected from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and violent protests from tens of thousands of peasants...operations to displace thousands. AP 2/15/00.
