"Alvaro Uribe's Powerful, Deadly, GOTV Operation

UribeDrugDealer1.jpgBy Revolter:

So Salvador Mancuso, the notorious paramilitary leader on trial in the US for selling drugs rather than answering charges of massacres and political corruption back home, has now directly implicated his "friend", President Alvaro Uribe, for collaborating with the paras. Mancuso claims that in 2002, "there were direct arrangements" between his AUC death squads and Uribe's presidential campaign, with the paras even transporting people to the urns to vote for our top Latin American ally. Why? Because:

"The ideological discourse of Uribe seemed modeled after ours, but within the law - we supported him immediately."

Lovely. Many of Mancuso's prior claims have proven to be credible, and Colombia's Attorney General now publicly admits that Mancuso and other paramilitaries should never have been extradited to the US in the first place because there was no evidence against them to be sent here. Basically they started to jettison them out of the country once they started blabbing about their Uribe connections.

This, by the way, is all over the Spanish language press, but alas, no one (except Colombia Reports!) breaks it down for the English speakers. But don't worry, Uribe's office is now doing its own English language news reporting so that you'll never be left in the dark again!

once they are proven innocent.

Loved ones of the victims in their massacres, etc. have protested as much as possible that they need to know where these clowns buried their friends, relatives, to find out more, and to gain a sense of justice for their murders, but oh, nooooo, they suddenly get spirited out of Colombia to stand trial for much lesser charges dealing with narco-trafficking, instead, and they have never been subjected to any public questioning leading to answers owed the Colombian public.

Very slick. Hope it will backfire on those responsible, in time.
