The FARC’s Honduran Friends
A chavista government in Honduras would raise the cost of the “war on drugs.”

President Barack Obama, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderón are in Guadalajara, Mexico, today for the North American Leaders’ Summit. They will discuss, among other topics, what to do about the explosion in drug-trafficking violence on the continent. But they are also expected to address the political situation in Honduras.
Too bad the Colombian ministry of defense will not also be on hand. It could show them evidence of the connection between the Honduran supporters of deposed Honduran president Manuel Zelaya and the most important South American supplier of illegal drugs to North America—the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). I know this because recently that evidence landed on my desk.
Mexico's President Felipe Calderon Hinojosa speaks with Honduras's ousted President Manuel Zelaya during a ceremony at the Official Residence "Los Pinos" on August 4, 2009 in Mexico City, Mexico.
