Peter M. Brennan

While the American Chargé d'affaires to Bolivia, Peter M. Brennan[1] was an object of an official complaint by the Bolivian government for having met with members of the opposition.

President Evo Morales had threatened to expel Brennan on more than one occasion, claiming "the US embassy planned to attack the government with accusations such as corruption and drug trafficking."

[4] Brennan has been said to promote what are called "democratic initiatives" by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and United States Aid for International Development (USAID).

While second in command in Nicaragua, in March of 2003, he told Enrique Bolaños' Chief of Staff General Julio César Avilés that an estimated $2.3 million in military aid "was to be suspended until the government destroyed all missiles and defensive military capacity assembled by the Sandinistas over a 10 year period.

He was one among those responsible for maintaining political stability in Pakistan and promoted trips for youth to the United States to learn about 'democratic initiatives.'"
