And in Washington, a human rights activist twice disrupted a speech by Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd Wednesday to protest Dodd’s backing of US military and counter-narcotics aid to Colombia and Mexico. For years, Dodd has supported selling Black Hawk helicopters made by the Connecticut-based company Sikorsky to Colombia despite concerns by human rights groups. The activist, Harry Bubbins, disrupted Dodd as he was honored by the Washington Office on Latin America.
