520			_aCOLOMBIA'S DRUG WAR -- "The day terrorists attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon Sept. 11, [2001] U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell was scheduled to visit Colombia to assess progress in another anti-terrorist campaign, the war on drugs." (NATIONAL CATHOLIC REPORTER) The author highlights the safety concerns expressed by those who oppose spraying herbicide on coca and poppy crops along the Colombia-Ecuador border.
520			_aU.S. WEIGHS FUNDS FOR WAR ON DRUGS -- "With fragile hopes and little optimism, the House of Representatives this week [July 22, 2001] almost certainly will approve another huge investment in the South American drug war despite its dim prospects." (SUN-SENTINEL) This article addresses the criticism expressed by some members of Congress who are concerned that the Andean anti-drug mission known as Plan Colombia will not be money well spent.
520			_aSPRAYING BLITZ CRIPPLES COLOMBIAN DRUG CROP -- "Stepped-up army patrols have limited supply and driven up the cost of chemicals needed to make cocaine, and thousands of farmers and itinerant leaf pickers have moved out, leaving behind half-filled brothels and churches." (MIAMI HERALD) The author describes how a U.S.-backed aerial defoliation campaign is destroying coca fields and decreasing cocaine output in Colombia.
520			_aU.S. TO STUDY SPRAYING RISKS IN COLOMBIA -- "To silence critics of U.S.-sponsored aerial spraying in Colombia, the Bush administration is launching a study intended to bolster its claims that herbicides used in the program are safe. However, if the plant killers are shown to be harmful to people, the study could backfire, putting the drug war and billions of dollars in U.S. aid to Bogota in jeopardy." (ST. PERTERSBURG TIMES) This article highlights the push for a health study of the spray program and the authors describe the Environmental Protection Agency's hesitation to become involved in such a controversial issue.
