 merrie says: elected and popular government. The Wall Street Journal reported on the confiscated FARC documents that implicated Rep. McGovern back in March: The Reyes hard drive reveals an ardent effort to do business directly with the FARC by Congressman James McGovern (D., Mass.), a leading opponent of the free-trade deal. Mr. McGovern has been working with an American go-between, who has been offering the rebels help in undermining Colombia's elected and popular government. Mr. McGovern's press office says the Congressman is merely working at the behest of families whose relatives are held as FARC kidnap hostages. However, his go-between's letters reveal more than routine intervention. Now, today we find out who was directing Rep. McGovern-- Speaker Pelosi! Mary Anastasia O'Grady at The Wall Street Journal reported: FARC's 'Human Rights' Friends http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121538827377131117.html?mod=todays_columnists FARC's 'Human Rights' Friends As we learn more about the Colombian military's daring hostage rescue last week, one detail stands out: In tricking FARC rebels into putting the hostages aboard a helicopter, undercover special forces simply told the comandantes that the aircraft was being loaned to them by a fictitious nongovernmental organization sympathetic to their cause called the International Humanitarian Mission. It may have taken years for army intelligence to infiltrate the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, and it may have been tough to convincingly impersonate rebels. But what seems to have been a walk in the park was getting the FARC to believe that an NGO was providin... There are quite a few people on Clipmarks that defend these FARC jerks. I assume it is the general assumption of the left that these groups (because of their socialist leanings) become the darlings of the libs. Look at Chavez, Castro. I remember Time gave Gobachev their Man of The Year title during the Cold War. Don't believe everything you read... the truth is often in between the two extremes... FARC leaders were paid millions to free hostages: Swiss radio http://www.forbes.com/afxnewslimited/feeds/afx/2008/07/04/afx5184293.html Not much to the article. I guess we will see. There is no reason to believe that any state would pay for hostages in this day and age. You don't know what you will get iun return and you know how they will spend the money. Also, why after five years? |
