A Case Study Of US Covert Operations in South America

This is a lengthy article about covert operations in Colombia.  It describes the history of US support to the government as part of its war on drugs.  It shows how the CIA and NSA have supported the government's efforts to eliminate leaders of the organization (FARC) responsible for drug traffic from Colombia to the US.  The operations in Colombia are very similar to those used in Afghanistan and elsewhere as part of the US war on terror.
