Many in Congress think they're the President of the World, and various right-wing federal legislators have espoused the view that the United States should in effect invade other countries to fight the failed drug war. They've even demanded that the U.S. spray toxic chemicals on entire regions to kill crops - which the DEA has done. (The DEA does the same in Hawaii, against residents' wishes.)
Bolivian President Evo Morales now says the DEA hasn't just been killing crops but farmers as well.
"The DEA killed, shot at the coca farmers' movement," stated Morales, who also heads a coca growers' federation.
Morales also said the DEA funded criminals and encouraged political unrest that killed 19 people.
The DEA is probably the most corrupt federal agency. This story is a living example of the type of corruption and violence the drug war breeds.
