Bolivia Won't Allow Return Of US Anti-Drug Agents http://www.rttnews.com/Content/GeneralNews.aspx?Id=1755978&SM=1 Bolivian President Evo Morales has said that his government will not allow the return of agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to the country despite agreeing to normalize ties with Washington a day earlier.During a visit to Colombia on Tuesday, Morales said he himself had been a victim of the DEA as leader of a coca growing nation, adding that the decision not to permit the return of the U.S. anti-drug agency was purely based on national "dignity and sovereignty.""For the first time since the foundation of Bolivia, the U.S. will respect Bolivian laws and Constitution. The subordination and subjection is over," Morales said, stressing that normalization of relations with Washington did not mean that the DEA would be allowed to operate in Bolivia.Separately, Bolivian Vice-President Alvaro Garcia Linera described the DEA as a "mechanism of political blackmail," and said: "The DEA is not coming back to Bolivia. We don't need it. With difficulty but with growing strength our police, our intelligence services and our armed forces are fighting against drug trafficking."
