520			_a"The United States says it is winning the war on terrorism, but few officials argue it is winning the war on drugs. Several government reports and experts on Capitol Hill say Plan Colombia, the U.S.-backed war on drugs in the South American nation, is failing, and some critics say the State Department is mismanaging the operation." (UPI) This article presents the dismal results of Plan Colombia, noting that "despite getting $2.5. billion in U.S. aid specifically to fight narco-traffickers, Colombia is still the world's largest producer of coca, the precursor to cocaine, and has expanded its production of opium poppy to become the largest supplier of heroin to the United States."
