Colombia President Alvaro Uribe publicly called on the United States to give longer sentences for drug traffickers who are extradited from his country. 

From BBC News:

He said that negotiating short jail terms with traffickers in exchange for information often ended up making a mockery of anti-drug efforts.

Mr Uribe was speaking at an anti-drugs summit of Latin American leaders in the north Colombian city of Cartagena.

Correspondents say it is a rare rebuke from such a strong US ally.

His administration has received billions of dollars in US aid to fight cocaine-traffickers and leftist rebels.

There was no immediate reaction from Washington.

The drug trade in Colombia is estimated to produce $843 Million.
