I’ve got a new article about the Aug. 28 extraordinary meeting of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), in which South America’s heads of state discussed the U.S.-Colombia Defense Pact. The Pact would allow the U.S. greater access to seven of Colombia’s military bases, which has caused a stir among the regions leaders, many of whom view the U.S. military with trepidation because of the long history of U.S. covert intervention.
I’m now in New York, and there is a possibility that Obama will meet with UNASUR to discuss the deal when the UN is in session this month (September). If so, I plan to cover it, so keep an eye out.
Here’s the link to the article.
