Washington Post piece on Venezuela's realisation that US scoring propaganda points on the cocaine issue that undermine Chavez's revolutionary credentials. Lots of accusation and counter-accusation. But if the US wont let Venezuela buy planes, bit difficult for them to intercept traffickers except on the ground. Bit slow really.
The real audience is the rest of Latin America. Cross-border crime is increasingly a political pawn rather than something to be defeated by transnational cooperation. Sometimes you wonder who benefits from all the noise?
