Plan Colombia: Cashing-In on the Drug War Failure

‘Plan Colombia: Cashing-In on the Drug War Failure’ shows how despite 20 years of US war-on-drugs in Colombia paid for by U.S. tax-payers, cocaine trafficking and money-laundering are skyrocketing to unseen proportions.

Also, the U.S. State Department has officially shifted its priority in Colombia from counter-narcotics to counter-insurgency conveniently dubbed anti-terrorism, so the big question remains whether U.S. is just trying to secure Colombia’s oil & natural resources instead of fighting drugs!
