Please take time to look over an excellent post from bobthedrummer in "Editorials:"
Body count mentalities" Colombia's "False Positives" Scandal, Declassified (National Security
Posted by bobthedrummer
Archive Electronic Briefing Book 266 posted January 7, 2009)

"The CIA and senior U.S. diplomats were aware as early as 1994 that U.S.-backed Colombian security forces engaged in 'death squad tactics', cooperated with drug-running paramilitary groups, and encouraged a 'body count syndrome', according to declassified documents published on the Web today by the National Security Archive."
