What that means is that this money that's being sent to Colombia is going to go against the guerillas and specifically against the guerillas. It's not going against the paramilitaries, who are bigger drug traffickers and bigger drug lords than the guerillas. So it's a media veil. Well, the largest paramilitary leader is Carlos Castano, and he's a known drug lord. In fact, they've even seen large production facilities and those sorts of things by Carlos Castano.
Drugs infiltrate every sector of the economy, every class of people in Colombia.
As far as how the military is involved, that's unclear to me. I know that paramilitaries are heavily involved because paramilitaries are privately owned militaries from large landholders, which often tend to be drug lords. In fact, the paramilitaries were constructed from former drug cartels, as well as self-defense groups from cattle ranchers and those sorts of things. So it's absolutely rife with drug money. The militaries are intimately tied with that, too, because the militaries answer to the large landholders and the corporate powers.
