LAT Photo- Peru sees cocaine making a comeback (Los Angeles Times, Patrick J. McDonnell with Felipe Paucar in Tingo Maria and Adriana León in Lima) "The Garcia administration initially agreed to suspend eradication efforts, a mainstay of the U.S.-backed anti-drug policy. But Garcia later reversed course and even suggested that clandestine laboratories be raided and bombed. With U.S. aid that totals about $50 million a year, Peru has trained and deployed hundreds of anti-drug police officers. "Peru will not resign itself to be a country of narco-trafficking," vowed the pro-U.S. Garcia, who took office in 2006." see also five-photo slide show
