By contrast, if the U.S. captures them they seize absolutely all of their assets. The most infuriating thing about Washington D.C. is that they are determined to risk Colombia's own democratic system , the same system the U.S. claims to protect for the world, in order to attain a more lucrative objective. Recently, with a falsified DEA report from the authorities in Washington, the DEA extorted Endara and the Panamanian Senate to approve an unjust TALM, by openly threatening to destroy the Panamanian democratic system. When the TALM, was finally approved, the scandal and all the investigations came to a halt and Endara was able to finish his presidential term. With this same type of scheme, with similar tactics, the U.S. is repeating this in Colombia, and as its weapon, the US threatens to sink the Colombian Constitution.
Lets look at the evidence.
Sure there were certain accords among the drug dealers and the political campaigns of both candidates before the elections, but neither Samper nor Pastrana left written evidence of such accords. Samper was pressured with more and more revelations that ultimately involved his campaign treasurer, who confessed to everything in order to save his neck. Finally, the president accepted the CIA intervention in Colombia, believing that the imprisoning of the Cali Cartel would put an end to the matter. The tension however, continues to mount because the U.S. seeks to get the Constitutional extradition of the Cali Cartel. Samper, ultimately has had to sacrifice his Defense Minister, Fernando Botero, as his political scape goat in the hope that the so called material evidence against him will prove his innocence.
