A former Colombian army major has been jailed for 44 years for his role in the deaths of more than 245 civilians. Many were cut to pieces with a power saw.
Alirio Antonio Urena was involved in the systematic killing of people around the Valle de Cauca state town of Trujillo between 1986 and 1994.

He was then commander of a brigade with ties to right-wing paramilitaries, who actually carried out most of the killings.

The victims were accused of collaborating with left-wing rebels against the army, though the paramilitaries are also tied closely to drug traffickers.

The dead included a popular priest and political organizer. He was decapitated and castrated.

8. Don't forget the genocidal monster Stroessner, in Paraguay, who ruled 35 years,
with only hugs and kisses from the "Western Powers," who also opened his door to Dr. Mengele, right after World War II. Mengele spent some of his time in Paraguay, some in Brazil, happy as a clam.

Stroessner was never considered a problem, and his own political party, the Colorado Party controlled Paraguay for 65 years, only losing TOTAL power just a couple of years ago when Fernando Lugo, a priest won, a man whose entire family had been persecuted by Stroessner.

What a shrieking lie we've been forced to live with, while the powers that be smiled sweetly and pretended they couldn't be more honorable, cleaner, and kinder. Boy, oh, boy. *hiccup* (I forgot to breathe.)

9. Wasn't Lorscheider another one. And, of course, there was the Argentinian junta. Just
last night saw a cable documentary of a Mossad operative luring a Latvian Nazi monster to Paraguay, where he and some Mossad associates bumped him off, put him in a case with a little compliment slip, to effect that he had been dealt with by people who never forget!

2. Same story, German translation:
Ex-military in Colombia sentenced to 44 years in prison
(AFP) - 18 hours

Bogotá - for participation in the murder of more than 245 civilians have been sentenced a former Major in Colombia to 44 years in prison. Alirio Antonio Urena was sentenced for his role in the systematic murder of civilians in the western city of Trujillo in the years 1986 to 1994, the Government informed.

Urena then commanded an army brigade in the state of Cauca with close ties to right-wing paramilitaries who were responsible, according to the prosecutor for the mass murder in Trujillo. About the victims had been saying that they had collaborated with leftist rebels.

The paramilitaries mutilated the corpses of the victims often beyond recognition, in many cases they were cut with chainsaws. The victims included the popular and politically active priests Tiberio Fernández. His body was castrated and beheaded in the Cauca River found. The verdict against Urena was the first in the fall of the systematic killings in Trujillo. First, Urena and his co-defendants were acquitted in 1991 but the process was reopened.

In another method, seven Colombian soldiers who were also sentenced to imprisonment. A court in Villavicencio, about 100 kilometers south of Bogota was she guilty in July 2007, a man kidnapped and murdered have they falsely represented as fighters of the leftist FARC rebels. This phenomenon is in Colombia as "falso positivo known. The Colombian Army is accused of repeatedly kill innocent bystanders, then they pose as rebels in order to book the acts as a success in the battle against insurgents can. The exact punishment for the seven men sentenced to be published in November.
