I know I'm just being paranoid but...

QUITO, Ecuador (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who has urged Latin American states to do more to fight terrorism, on Wednesday raised the touchy issue of using the military to combat terrorism and organized crime.

Can anyone find the text of this speech? This seems a little retro to me.

From what little I've heard it sounds like they're recycling failed policy.

Perhaps Rumsfield is jealous of the various Latin American dictatorships who use their military to make the people toe the line.

Terrorism AND organized crime? Why that does sound like a job for the white house doesn't it?
