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.
