The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday that the US Central Intelligence Agency has information the head of the Colombian military, Gen. Mario Montoya, who is considered a strong US ally, is strongly linked to right wing militias in the country. These militias are terrorist organisations, even the US says so, and are also associated with drug trafficking. The South American country receives 700 million USD annually in aid from the US primarily in military aid linked to the "War on Drugs". General Montoya is also tightly tied to Colombian President Alvaro Uribe who claims as a good mate The Decider(TM) himself! Unsurprisingly the Colombian government rejects the claims.
What could be even worse for Gen. Montoya is that this would mean he is removed from US fruit giant Chiquita by only one degree of separation.
