The other report is published by the U. S. State Department and is
more "committed," but only as far as the national interest of the
world's only su perpower is concerned. Therefore, the State
Department report must be read while keeping in mind the state of
U. S. relations with the countries concerned. This report is
accompanied by the so-called "certification" process, whose ar
bitrary character has often been stressed. For instance, Iran, a
country whose determination to fight the drug transit on its
territory is well-known - more than 100 Iranian law enforcement
agents die every year as a restult - was removed from the
"blacklist" of "decertified countries" in the spring of 1999,
precisely as it was inaugurating a policy of opening itself to
external influ ence, including that of the United States. In
retrospect, this demonstrates that the U. S. government had
decertified Iran in past years because it was viewed as an Islamic
and terrorist country, not because of its supposed involvement in
drug trafficking. Neither does the last State Department report
explain why Haji Ayub Afridi, a major Pakistani drug baron, who had
voluntarily surrendered to U. S. authorities, returned to Pakistan
in 1999 after spending a mere three and a half years in a U. S.
prison."
