"US, Peruvian Militaries Announce Massive Anti Jesus Trafficking Initiative"
"Ah the drug war. Members of Congress have long had trouble saving their precious grandchildren from the joys of cocaine, so they've devised an ingenious military strategy to kill dirt farmers in faraway lands and incarcerate ¼ of black youth at home, while simultaneously managing to drive domestic drug availability up and street prices down, somehow.
"But even with a perfect scheme, sometimes things can go wrong! Americans were pretty upset to learn that a 'drug plane' blown up in Peru a few years ago was actually just carrying missionaries** from Muskegon, Michigan, so the Bush Administration helpfully stepped in to save us from our own anger, by trying to lie about the whole thing.
"Now it turns out this 'shoot first, ask questions never' approach was pretty much the norm for US/ Peruvian drug relations in the 90s, according to a new CIA report out this week that 'directly contradicts' our own beloved State Department. There were at least another 14**** of these planes blown out of the Peruvian skies, so if your cousin never called again after his Campus Christian Quechua Conversion Crusade trip, now you know why."http://www.borev.net/2008/12/us_peruvian_militaries_announc.html----

I would just add that the "shoot first, ask questions never" approach in U.S. foreign policy extended way beyond the 90s. It is what we are now famous for, in the world today--in Iraq (one million dead), in Afghanistan, in Pakistan, in police departments throughout our land, at the DoJ, and wherever our police state has touched down in foreign lands, including among the Colombian "security forces" with $6 BILLION in Bushwhack (U.S. taxpayer) funding (thousands of union workers, peasant farmers, political leftists, human rights workers and others murdered by the Colombian military and closely tied rightwing death squads), and in Peru, where U.S. "war on drugs" funding and "free trade" are even now being used to crush worker and peasant protests, and in Bolivia, this September, where the U.S. ambassador and the DEA funded and organized white separatist riots which included the machine-gunning of some 30 unarmed peasants.
The euphemisms that the U.S. Empire uses to try to disguise its oppression and plunder of us and others--such as the "war on drugs"--don't begin to describe the collateral damage of government-by-euphemism.
