Did Plan Colombia work? A look at the numbers

In another guest-post to Democracy Arsenal, I commemorate the 6th anniversary of Bill Clinton's introduction of the "Plan Colombia" aid package. Perhaps too predictably, the article finds that "the results of U.S. aid to Colombia have been remarkably disappointing."

But "rather than explain why with an exhaustive, point-by-point disquisition," the post borrows heavily from the Harper's Index, with 69 different arguments in numerical form. Draw your own conclusion.
