FARC Indictments

In my U.S.-Latin American Relations class, we had spent some time trying to figure out the reasons why the U.S. government indicted 50 members of the FARC, and the significance of the timing (in other words, why now?). Adam Isacson has a great analysis in Plan Colombia and Beyond, including surprise at how the U.S. alleges that the FARC's control of and profit from the cocaine trade has greatly increased.
