Colombia: investigator swears laptop had no emails

Captain Ronald Hayden Coy Cortiz, the anti-terrorist investigator from DIJIN who wrote the report on the magic laptop, has sworn under oath that there were no emails at all on it. It was all Word docs.
The Colombian government has been claiming there were thousands of emails, and has arrested and charged all sorts of people, including politicians, journalists and members of NGOs they don't like. And of course they've had great fun smearing Chávez and other Venezuelan and Ecuadorian politicians (though their case against Chávez at least, on the basis of the "email" they quoted was so pathetic as to be completely risible anyway).
They can say the saved Word documents were saved emails sent or received, but it turns out there is no evidence on the laptop of any communication, one way or the other, between the FARC leadership and any of those who've been accused.
Don't hold your breath waiting for apologies.
