Patterson
says no
to drug
legalization
The
United States Ambassador,
Anne Patterson, yesterday rejected the proposals by Colombian
congressmen to legalize the sale of drugs.
Patterson, in a visit to the
city of Barranquilla, warned that if Colombia approves this legislation,
it could have problems with the international community.
"I believe that this could
cause many problems with the international community," Patterson
declared as she announced that her country will deliver, in the
next six months, 14 airplanes for the fumigation of illegal coca
and poppy crops.
