''The conclusions are not good,'' Pastrana said in a rare talk with foreign journalists ahead of next week's visit by Secretary of State Colin Powell. ''The conclusions are that drugs are still the first-or second-biggest business of mankind.'' He said the United States should re-establish intelligence-sharing with Colombia's air force about suspected drug flights, and urged President Bush to help organize an international narcotics conference. ''Clearly, we must also make an evaluation--and not only of the policies of fumigation and interdiction,'' Pastrana said. - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
