the vile activities and motives of the Colombian government and its Bush Junta funders ($5.5 BILLION in U.S. military aid), and you have the whole story of these laptops: The Niger/Iraq nuke forgeries deja vu all over again.

Trumped up, cherry-picked "evidence" in the interest of Exxon-Mobil & co.*

Why would Interpol permit these egregiously false headlines to proliferate, without protest? The answer may lie in Hugo Chavez's and Rafael Correa's opposition to the murderous, corrupt, failed U.S./Bush "war on drugs." The "war on drugs" is one of the biggest police state/war profiteer boondoggles on earth. It is Interpol's gravy train, just as much as it is Colombia's gravy train. Although their scientists couldn't help but tell the truth--that these laptops were seriously tampered with--their chief spokespeople tried to give another impression, that there was something to Uribe's wild accusations. I would say that Interpol has been seriously corrupted by the "war on drugs," if it ever had any integrity to begin with. And, as with Colombia and all such police state 'anti-drug' wars, the cocaine, the heroine, the weapons, the gangs, the drug lords and associate crimes and evils never stop. Five BILLION dollars to Colombia alone, and are dangerous drugs any less available to our children?

Chavez, Correa, Evo Morales and the other Bolivarians have a far more effective approach: 1) social justice (poor people who have jobs and social supports--education, health care, fairness--are less likely to look to drug trafficking and other crimes for survival); and 2) decriminalization of private, harmless (and, indeed, beneficial) use of herbs, such as the age-old indigenous practice of chewing coca leaves and brewing coca leaf tea--and good police work (not a "war") as to criminal networks.

It could be that this is a major reason for Uribe's and Bush's vicious hatred of the Bolivarians. The Bolivarian leaders don't believe in making war on ordinary people, and their police work is actually effective at interdicting the big drug lord traffickers, and are thus having an impact on those who are protecting them and profiting from them (Uribe, whose original sponsor was the Medellin Cartel; and the Bush Cartel).
