US OUT OF COLOMBIA!

This country has no business extraditing leftist paramilitary persons from Colombia. This country has declared the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN) to be terrorists groups. Neither group has ever made an attempt to commit terrorism on US soil. Both groups operate in Colombia and their differences with the government there are strictly an internal matter.

The idea that this country can take prisoners from someone else’s war is ridiculous and dangerous. This is blatant interference in the internal affairs of another country. This is nothing new, since the US presently occupies both Iraq and Afghanistan. It is ironic that the US is bringing more so called “terrorists” from other countries to the US for prosecution. Logic would dictate that this practice should be over. But apparently those inside the Obama administration just don’t get it. They still see Latin America as their back yard.

Colombia’s president, Alvaro Uribe, is a coward and a whore of the US on the South American continent. He obviously has no confidence in his own government, military or court system. To preserve his political power he has let another country take his citizens to foreign shores to be tortured, interrogated and prosecuted here.
