A lot has happened with the big rescue the US has planned and executed to try and bolster the American image in Colombia, it’s nearly fascist government and all the conservatives who wanted to include this country in the war on terror. Just yesterday we had the three mercenaries paid by the CIA bitching about the guerillas that held them after they tried to destroy Colombian croplands and spy on someone elses war. From

“Freed US hostage denounces Colombian rebels
By ELIZABETH WHITE
Associated Press Writer
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas - Among the smiles and hugs shared by three American hostages freed last week from rebels in Colombia and their families, one of the men on Monday angrily denounced their captors as "terrorists with a capital 'T.'"
Marc Gonsalves said the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which held him and two other U.S. military contractors in captivity for more than five years, refuses to acknowledge human rights and rejects democracy. They use revolution as a justification for criminal activity, he said.
"I want to send a message to the FARC," Gonsalves said. "FARC, you guys are terrorists. You deny that you are, you say with words that you're not terrorists, but your words don't have any value. Don't tell us that you're not terrorists, show us that you're not terrorists."
The FARC are terrorists as opposed to those who spary poison on pleople’s farms, help the fascist government of Alvaro Uribe control the country through armed force and maybe these wankers didn’t realize that much of what the CIA has been doing, ( water bording and torture at Gitmo) makes them equally terrorists. The one mistake the FARK made was not just shooting these American traitors when they had the chance. These contractors the CIA hires are the scum of the earth.

“Freed Colombian hostages urge hope
By LIBARDO CARDONA
Associated Press Writer
BOGOTA, Colombia - Freed after years as rebel-held hostages, French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt and four Colombian police officers sent messages of hope in a radio broadcast Sunday to captives still detained in remote jungle camps.
The former hostages appeared on an all-night radio program aimed at rebel captives and wept as they recalled their ordeal, which ended four days ago when Colombian agents duped guerrillas and airlifted 15 hostages to freedom.
"Hostage brothers, what happened to us has more than proved that God exists," said police Cpl. John Jairo Duran. "Don't let yourselves be conquered by sadness. We never thought it would be our turn to be free, and it was. Your turn is very near."
Bogota's Caracol Radio has broadcast the weekly "Voices of Kidnapping" program for the benefit of rebel-held hostages for 14 years, inviting their relatives to call in with messages that hostages often are able to hear via portable radio.”
They can broadcast radio signals to those in the FARC territory but they our government has managed to shut down the web link to the FARC. For years now, anyone wanting to know what the FARC stand for or what they think of these situations could go to http://www.farcep.org/. But now the onty thing that pops up from that web address is “This program cannot display the webpage.” So much for freedom of speech. We apparently live in a government that feels it has the right to give us one side of an argument and silence the other side.
That’s freedom of speech US style.
It was “also laughable to suggest McCain's presence in Colombia for this event was just fortuitous.”
The FARC is no where near being beaten by a bunch of imperialist slime buckets from the US.
