Colombia gives lessons in combating organized crime: US

by Adriaan Alsema February 11, 2011

Colombia news - William Brownfield

William Brownfield, the former U.S. ambassador to Bogota and current Assistant Secretary of State said Thursday that Colombia can provide lessons in how to combat organized crime.

Brownfield, the current U.S. assistant secretary of state for international narcotics and law enforcement affairs, visited the Central American country of Honduras where Washington is considering financial aid to combat drug trafficking.

According to Caracol Radio, Brownfield asked an Honduran audience to remember “that some 12 years ago, everyone talked about the possibility of Colombia becoming a failed state, a state that would not survive the 20th century as a modern state.”

Brownfield travels to Colombia on Friday, where he will meet with Prosecutor General Viviane Morales, armed forces commander Admiral Edgar Cely, and national police director General Oscar Naranjo.
