Noam Chomsky on Plan Colombia (tags)
"Plan Colombia" provides an extensive analysis of U.S. economic and military interests and their role in supporting and rationalizing a "drug war" that has nothing to do with fighting drugs and everything to do with fighting resistance. This essay is reprinted from Noam Chomsky’s book 'Rogue States—The Rule of Force in World Affairs.' It is the result of Chomsky’s efforts to measure the world’s superpowers by their own professed standards and to hold them responsible for the indefensible actions they commit.
