The US State Department announced that William Brownfield, formerly ambassador to Bogota and now a top anti-drug official, will visit Colombia on February 10 to demonstrate support for security in the region.

Brownfield is currently the assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL).

The official will be accompanied by Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roberta Jacobson on his tour of Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Colombia from February 6 through February 11.

While in Colombia the assistant secretary will meet with Colombian Prosecutor General Viviane Morales, armed forces commander Admiral Edgar Cely, and National Police Chief General Oscar Naranjo to thank Colombia for their contributions to regional security and to discuss further measures for regional cooperation.

"..to discuss further measures for regional cooperation."

Brownfield forget somebody, in his extraditions/asylums of witnesses against Uribe/Bush?

Really, when are we going to be able to buy one of these high-tech bug things that they're developing at Mitre Corporation or wherever, so we can just fly through the door when they open it, or fly in the window or down the air conditioning duct, and find out, first hand, where the trillions of our tax dollars are going, without having to wait for old tech Wikileaks to download cables (which are, in any case, written in Martian and require interpretation)?

If the CIA/NSA/DEA/FBI, et al, can have them, why can't we? Our development money. Our agencies. Our government. We should have all the toys they do. They gave us computer chips and the Internet (though they are living to regret it, I think). Why not SPYING BUGS? The ultimate in "open government"!

Damn sam, I hope Viviane Morales is on her game, and on the side of her prosecutors--and there is blood all over the walls before she's finished! Love to see it, even if it splattered my bug.
