Summary:

Documents obtained under FOIA by the National Security Archive help connect the dots between the Chiquita banana company and terror in Colombia and the Colombian government's link to the nation's illegal paramilitary forces. While some of the information came from a Justice Department indictment, FOIA helped the Archive create a clearer picture of the situation.
