An American Addiction: Drugs, Guerillas, Counterinsurgency - US Intervention In Colombia

"Colombia has been the leading recipient of US arms and training in the Western Hemisphere through the 1990s. It has also had the worst human rights record by far in the Western Hemisphere during these years. That correlation is one of the best correlations in contemporary history....It's a very important correlation that should be known and understood by the people who are paying for it. That's us. And it will get worse. [Noam Chomsky, from the CD] Clinton's last act as President was to authorize $1.7 billion in military aid to Colombia. Bush has already added almost another billion dollars. In a clear, concise, and sometimes bitterly funny lecture, Noam Chomsky shows us who is getting the money, who is producing and exporting the drugs, and what the war on the ground is really about.
