Is Bolivia the New Afghanistan, or Is O'Grady From The WSJ Delusional?

There are plenty of things to write about my country Bolivia, but I've never read something with more of an agenda that verges on delusional than this OpEd by Wall Street Journal Senior Journalist, Mary Anastasia O'Grady. In her piece, Ms. O'Grady describes Bolivia as a rogue state and safe haven for terrorists.
She opens with Afghanistan, the brutal USSR occupation and Osama Bin Laden. Cue the thunder and oppressive music as Evo Morales enters stage left ... It seems the US propaganda machine is on the case again, this time with Bolivia in their sights because "something similar may be happening in Bolivia."
Now, my first question is how she can compare Evo Morales and Bolivia to Osama Bin Laden and Afganistan? Evo is the president of a sovereign nation, OBL was a leader of Al Qaeda who at one stage was hiding in Afghanistan and hunted by the CIA.
It's like comparing the famous North American Indian leader Red Cloud to Obama, only Obama won and Osama lost.
Her eye-catching title reads, "Bolivia's decent into rogue state status," but what does that mean? A rouge state is a country that has broken international law and poses a threat to the security of other nations.

We've read some incredible crap about the Latin American Left from the corpo-fascist press. There are A LOT of candidates for worst shovelers of excrement. I've found O'Grady to be the worst I've read.
