Neoliberalism needs death squads in Colombia
By Hans Bennett
In her new book, Blood &
Capital: The Paramilitarization of Colombia, author Jasmin Hristov
writes: �For roughly forty years, the Colombian state has been playing a double
game: prohibiting the formation of paramilitary groups with one law and
facilitating their existence with another; condemning their barbarities and at
the same time assisting their operations; promising to bring perpetrators of
crime to justice, while opening the door to perpetual immunity; convicting them
of narco-trafficking, yet profiting from their drug deals; announcing to the
world the government�s persecution of paramilitary organizations, even though
in reality these �illegal armed groups� have been carrying out the dirty work
unseemly for a state that claims to be democratic and worthy of billions of
dollars in US military aid.�
