Web pages would leave behind data that could be retrievable by forensic methods. That data was retrievable from the laptop makes me wonder if Reyes was so confident that the computer would never fall into government hands that he did not take any precautions or very few.

As for accessing email from a web based email account, I would think that it would be smart to not leave a collection of emails for the government to stumble over. But it is entirely possible that the accounts being used by the FARC were identified and access was gained by some government directly through the mail provider. This, while plausible, is speculation and would be a true intelligence gold mine.
