I immediately looked for Columbia on this list and discovered that my suspicions were correct. Note that no military aid to them was suspended. That's very significant.

I believe Columbia didn't receive a waiver FROM the ban and are subject to the ban on aid.
I could be wrong but that's what it looks like.

That is very significant, We have pouring money into Colombia in that hopeless war on drugs. I believe we have a bunch of U.S. forces down there training and equiping the Narc's

Perhaps I'm confused, but it does seem say Columbia has been suspended and did not receive a presidential waiver.

Significant in which way? Do you think cutting off aid to them is a good thing or a bad thing?

As the deadline passed for governments to sign exemption agreements or face the suspension of military aid, President Bush issued waivers for 22 countries. Waived countries still get the aid.
But the 22 countries did not include Colombia, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
Colombia got the ax.

First sentence: The United States on Tuesday suspended military assistance to nearly 50 countries, including Colombia...
Second sentence: ...President Bush issued waivers for 22 countries.
Third sentence: But the 22 countries [receiving waivers] did not include Colombia, ...
Since Colombia did not receive a waiver, military aid to Colombia is being cut off.

That takes money and arms, ya know.
