Giordano" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Exiled Colombian Journo Speaks on Narco News A Conversation in Exile: http://www.narconews.com/exiled.html Exiled Colombian Journalist Alfredo Molano Speaks with Narco News and says: Washington's Plan Colombia will not slow the illegal drug trade. But Plan Colombia will spread the cocaine crop to Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and to Northern Colombia increase the narco-power of violent paramilitary squads and their impunity to commit human rights atrocities (and to threaten journalists) displace Colombian peasants with the motive of constructing a new Atlantic-Pacific canal within Colombia cause grave environmental harm to the Amazon jungle AUGUST 7, 2000; BARCELONA: Colombian journalist Alfredo Molano and his family received death threats from US-backed military and paramilitary forces because he criticized them in his Sunday newspaper column in the daily El Espectador of Bogota. Today the Molano family lives in exile, in Europe, in the Catalonian city of Barcelona. Molano, a leading expert on agriculture and the substitution of coca crops, granted an interview to The Narco News Bulletin in his apartment in a traditional fisherman's neighborhood of Barcelona on July 31, 2000. The interview with publisher Al Giordano was conducted in Spanish and translated to English for this report. Narco News also offered some of our own analysis about why certain conservative-libertarian sectors of the US drug policy reform movement don't want to listen to what their natural allies in Latin Amirica are saying about the drug war, and the greater Amirica's important contribution of developing a legalization argument from the Left. Here, Molano speaks on the imminent danger to his country posed by the $1.3 billion "Plan Colombia" military aid package from Washington. He cites the importance of Europe's refusal to participate and affirms, "The best way to fight against drug trafficking is to legalize it." He also explains why the Latin American Left increasingly embraces the legalization cause.

It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood.........It has indeed been a trying hour for the Republic, but I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working on the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.angelfire.com/mi/smilinks/thirdeye.html <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
