I wonder if these columbians have ties to the Contras or Drug Cartels? I would be interested to find out.

BOGOTA, 14 December 2004 — A US company has recruited 25 retired Colombian police and army officers to provide security for oil infrastructure in Iraq, according to the newspaper El Tiempo.

The officers met in northern Bogota on Dec. 2 with a Colombian colonel, who, on behalf of “Halliburton Latin America,” offered them monthly salaries of $7,000 to provide security for oil workers and infrastructure in several Iraqi cities, according to one of the men, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
