Ostensibly fighting a drug war with support from the United States, the military in Colombia has been trying to win its three-decades old civil war against left-wing guerilla groups. U.S. geo-political and corporate interests are strong in that Andean country. What does the so-called war on terrorism mean for the situation? On this program we take a look at such questions about U.S. policy on Colombia.
