Finance
and
Colombia
6/30/00
Federal agencies often try,
without much success, to trace the flow of "dirty money," laundered drug
profits illegally sifted through the above-ground financial institutions
for their owners to use and invest.
A column published this week
by columnist Arianna Huffington traces the flow of legal, but arguably
no less unethical, campaign contributions by monied interests in the Colombia
spending bill.

to read how a helicopter manufacturer bribed Congress, at the ultimate
expense of US taxpayers and Colombian victims of human rights abuses.
