There are american hostages in Columbia?
They have been there for 8 months? I didnt know this. Must not have been a big story next to the invasion of Iraq. Wonder how the family feels knowing that most of america has no idea about this. Why isnt * doing something to stop these evil-doers? Why has the media not mentioned much of this? Crazy.

1. FARC holds over 3000 hostages
including elected officials, priests, villagers, foreigners. They are the most prolific kidnappers in the world, and are extremely violent.

2. Yes, there are, but gov't tries
to pretend they are not there - forgotten prisoners. We have had several crashes or shoot downs (whichever you choose to believe). At least 3 killed I think. They work for Northrup, DynCorp, etc (or someone like that)

4. The regime is using commercial gunmen to protect its interests in Colombia

The war has been going on for almost 30 years. It is the same war as they usually are: US puppet dollaho and his rich friends versus millions of poor people.
