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.
