Editor-We are writing to comment on your article, "A Mixed Blessing? Critics object to Mississippi's settlement of a 1975 anti-segregation lawsuit involving the state's 'historically black universities' " (National CrossTalk, Summer 2004). While shedding light on the "desegregation" of the historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in Mississippi, the article could also mislead readers about the extent to which colleges and universities in the 19 southern and southern-border states are providing equal educational opportunity to blacks.

Tales of the Rangers
Simon Strong's " Peru is Losing More than the Drug War " (OP-ED Feb 17) describes a country different than the one I came to know so well. I was an advisor to the Peruvian Drug Police during the year 1990-91 in the Upper Huallaga Valley. He states that the Shining Path-narcotics trafficker alliance is a " myth perpetrated by both (the US and Peruvian) governments. " He is incorrect. I was advising a team of Drug Police near a town called Santa Rosa in July, 1990, and helped them torch a drug lab owned by a Sendero cell calling themselves Los Tigres. Plates of food on the table were warm, the cocaine paste residue in the drying filters was moist, and a bag full of Maoist propaganda was well-thumbed. Most importantly, Shining Path financial ledgers showing payments to local coca farmers and Colombian smugglers were up to date. The US government was divided over the nature of the guerrilla-narco relationship in those days, and my agency, the DEA, was the principle advocate of the view that it did not exist. I eventually resigned from the DEA's Operation Snowcap over sustained DEA refusal to recognize the guerrilla-trafficker nexus (among other reasons), and conduct counternarcotics operations in Perú appropriately. While other US agencies, namely the Department of State, CIA, and Department of Defense, were willing to accept incontrovertible evidence of such an alliance between narcotics traffickers and guerrillas, no US government agency has acted with the determination this dire reality requires.
