Here she is visiting with Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Jim McGovern:
I hope she does make sufficient noise. She's a very brave woman, considering the filth she has been opposing in Colombia. I hope Uribe won't find a way to kill her. You know he will if he can. That's why she has a bunch of bodyguards.
Great photo attached to the article:
Thanks for the information.
On edit, god! I just remembered one of her bodyguards was killed in an assassination attempt on her. Sonofagun, I had forgotten about that.
Uh, oh! I just looked up "assassination attempt" to get more information, and found something unexpected in Wikipedia:
In 1999 Carlos Castaño, leader of the paramilitary group United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), kidnapped Senator Córdoba. After several weeks she was freed and exiled with her family in Canada. After one year and 2 months in exile and reports by Colombian authorities that security had improved, Cordoba returned to Colombia, leaving her family back and continue her political duties. She has been victim of two assassination attempts.

As a Colombian para (death squad) protestor said last April, death squads don't take prisoners usually, as they just cut them up into little pieces, instead. (This was spoken to a reporter on the day of the protest, after which SIX PROTEST ORGANIZERS WERE ASSASSINATED after receiving death threats.)
