Talk:U.S.-Central America Free Trade Agreement

Along with the information from articles below, I feel like a criticism/commendation section here would be great- CAFTA is very controversial and this page needs to have something about what its effects have been and what kind of arguments have been made over it.--John Benton 11:03, 11 July 2007 (EDT)

This is not my topic, but came across reference in a blog asking why nobody was covering the CAFTA riots in Central America. Here are some links to start things off:
