[...] ineffective, while the Uribe government’s daring, amazing Alistair-MacLean-novel rescue of the hostages set them free and gives us amazing video like this statement of real moral clarity [...]

Kudos to the Columbian government. Save the demagoguery JHSII…you demean the significance of this event with your silliness.

Can’t be Oldermann; it’s an indoor toilet.

Ingrid Bentacourt is a leftist. She went personally to FARC to negotiate a peace deal with these guerrillas to stop the violence

No, she went to San Vicente del Caguan because its inhabitants had personally requested her to be there in the hope that her presence, and therefore that of the press which was constantly following her movements due to it being an election year, would deter FARC from exacting reprisals on them.

She has never had any sympathy for FARC, and even less now, presumably.

I am glad these people are rescued. Uribe has been a godsend to Colombia. However, I must state that I am Cuban American and I keep up with news in Latin America. Ingrid Bentacourt is a leftist. She went personally to FARC to negotiate a peace deal with these guerrillas to stop the violence. I would plead for all to keep an eye out on her because she is hinting on running for the presidency and she is not someone I would trust. We do not know what went on behind her “captivity.” Uribe warned her not to be foolish to negotiate with FARC, but she is one of these lefty loony peace people, Obama-like who thought she was an “inspiration,” Messiah-like. She might want to use her captivity for political expediency and gain Uribe’s position in the future. We do not know what went on during her “captivity.” Thank God the Americans are safe and all others as well. But coming out of Cuban politics and reading and listening to Latin American news, this is something to keep an eye on.

From what I understand, U.S. intelligence played a roll in the operation, they located where the hostages were being held.

Now all I need to do is to purchase a red Che Guevara T-shirt and infiltrate the lefty liberal / Marxist organizations in the USA and speed up the collapse of anti-American groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), Moveon.org and National Council of La Raza. They all
accept the red Che Guevara T-shirt as a form of identification of of fellow comrades.

Just something I noticed: The hostages were not freed - they were rescued. The media have been getting it wrong all day; don't follow in their footsteps, please?

It’s nice to see these hostages freed and coming and going home.

Someone please Photoshop McCain into a helicopter pilot’s seat, complete w/ Che shirt

I would, but I’m not that good.

McCain was “campaigning” in Columbia? For the US Presidency? Two days before July 4, Independence Day? C’mon, that ridiculous!

It’s obviously a cover for his real mission….piloting one of the helicopters into the jungle wearing a Che shirt, on a “No man left behind” mission. Now THAT’s a Patriot!

Damn, the guy sure is humble about his heroics.
