Meanwhile, Bolivian President Evo Morales has ordered the US Drug Enforcement Administration to leave Bolivia within three months. On Thursday, Morales accused DEA agents of violating Bolivian sovereignty and in fact encouraging the drug trade. Bolivian officials say the DEA has been complicit in bribing officers, covering up murders and destroying Bolivian infrastructure over the past two decades. Morales says he will present evidence backing his claims to President-elect Obama. The move follows President Bush’s recent decision to suspend Bolivian trade benefits over what he calls Morales’s failure to cooperate in the so-called war on drugs.
