摘要

In the next few days, American officials are due to decide whether to restart surveillance flights over Peru and Colombia aimed at denying the freedom of the skies to light aircraft used by drug traffickers. These flights were suspended last month, after Veronica Bowers, an American missionary, and her baby were killed when their aircraft was strafed by a Peruvian air-force jet. Despite unease in the United States Congress, the likelihood is that President George Bush's government will recommend that the flights should resume. That is because they are an integral part of an ever more elaborate effort, started over two decades ago, to cut the flow of cocaine from producer countries in the Andes to consumers in the United States.
