Uribe's Capitol Hill visit sparks debate amongst legislators
Colombian President Alvaro Uribe's visit to the U.S. Congress Friday revived a debate amongst U.S. legislators as to how the $4 billion given to Colombia's government under Plan Colombia has been used. (VOA News)
Kudos for Rep. James McGovern. Plan Colombia has been an utter failure. [Book Plug!] Alfredo Molano, a Colombian sociologist, wrote a great anecdotal piece on the effects the violence has had on everyday citizens. It's called The Dispossesed (Desterrados), and is available for the first time in English this year. It's a very easy and quick read, at just over 200pp.
