Intelligence chief calls for more spies in Latin America

The head of U.S. intelligence, John Negroponte, told Time magazine that more spies are needed in Latin America. “We're beefing up in places where we hadn't been, where we'd allowed things to atrophy after the end of the cold war--in Latin America and Africa,” said Negroponte, who was U.S. ambassador to Honduras in the early 1980s.
