Monsanto's Roundup Ultra

[Dagnabit]

Monsanto's Roundup Ultra is the Napalm of the War on Drugs.

<a href="http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,508146,00.html">The Observer reports</a> on the use of this nasty chemical. They're using helicopter gunships to spray it at 100 times the allowed US levels, on villages and indigenous communities in Colombia. Their intent is to kill coca plants... instead, they've killed 178,000 farm animals, and given skin conditions and gastric disorders to 4200 humans, including hundreds of children. The result: they've managed to disrupt legitiate farming, while the coca production has generally survived.
