US still using Agent Orange type sprays in "drug war"

Still paying off the chemical companies and using Agent Orange type land killers to control drugs rather than support economic development and democracy in Columbia and USA!

clipped from org2.democracyinaction.org Between 2000 and 2007, the U.S. government spent over half a billion dollars for the chemical spraying of approximately 2.6 million acres of land in Colombia--the world's second most bio-diverse country. Due to U.S. government pressure, Colombia is the only country in the world that allows this spraying--known as fumigation--as an anti-drug practice. Yet this practice has been a complete failure in its stated goal. Coca production--the raw material for cocaine and the "target" of fumigation--has actually increased by 36 percent since U.S.-backed fumigation began in earnest.
