Dear Colleagues,
Today on Narco News, journalist Kim Alphandary provides the context for the
many narco and press freedom stories surging out of Colombia: the decision
by the U.S. government to make war in the Andes its "highest priority."

*****Meanwhile, for readers in the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Area, this afternoon at 5
p.m. Pacific Time, Al Giordano will be live on KPFA Radio 94.1 FM with host Dennis
Bernstein to talk about the forced exile of Colombian journalist Fernando Garavito as
a result of his reporting on the narco-history of Colombian presidential candidate
Alvaro Uribe.*****
In Narco News today, Alphandary reports:
"U.S. Ambassador to Colombia, Luis Alberto Moreno, recently explained that
'In the Western Hemisphere, Colombia is of the 'highest priority' for the
United States,' explaining that, 'the FARC are not a terrorist organization
of global reach but regional, and the United States shares this region,'
said Moreno. [El Espectador 03/06]
"The administration is seeking another $400 million for the next fiscal year
as part of the war on drugs. An additional $100 million counter insurgency
aid to protect British Petroleum's Oil Pipeline, $29 million to help
Colombia combat terrorist kidnappings and $25 million to provide "critically
needed training and operational assistance.
"What do our military-minded rulers have in store us? Colombia can return
to the peace process. The United States can support Colombia's return to
democracy. Aid for Colombia needs to support civil society -- not war."
...from somewhere in a country called América,
Al Giordano
