Today's designation, made pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act), is OFAC's fifth action against the FARC in the past eight months.

gatogris says on Aug 1, 2008, 14:05: These Treasury agents represent a real threat to the established order. It was boy scouts like Eliot Ness that took down Capone and make it more expensive to get a drink. I hope for their sake they know to stick to beating up on the FARC and leave the good traffickers alone, otherwise they could find themselves beancounting school budgets in Podunk, Alaska. 0 funny, 0 helpful.
