"Costa Rica Dropped From 'Willing' List"

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House has removed Costa Rica from an Internet list of nations in the so-called "coalition of the willing" in Iraq.

Costa Rica asked the United States this month to take it off the list after its Constitutional Court ruled that its presence on the list it violated pacifist principles of the Central American nation.

"The Costa Rican government expressed its desire to be removed from the list, and we have done so," a senior administration official said Monday about the listing, which was removed last week.

Costa Rican President Abel Pacheco said he had agreed only to join countries that were against terrorism.
