New Report Evaluates the Obama Administration's Relations With Latin America; Finds a Heavy Emphasis on Military Programs, Insufficient Attention to Human Rights http://www.wola.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=viewp&id=1105&Itemid=2

"In 2010, 47 percent of the United States' more than $3 billion in aid to Latin America is going to militaries and police forces," says Adam Isacson, senior associate for security policy at WOLA and one of the authors of Waiting for Change. "That's the highest proportion in a decade, and it indicates an unbalanced approach. Add to that a new military-basing agreement signed last October with Colombia, and the main face that most of the region is seeing from the Obama administration is a military one."
