1. This is so low. Someday the Colombian government is going to have to be accountable

for all its treachery against the people who have been unlucky enough to have been born there.

They would gladly slaughter almost everyone there in order to keep control, and it looks as if they're well on their way.

Typical right-wingers.

I rejoice every time any article at all is published regarding their dirty ways of killing people and pretending they're the "enemy," just to keep their filthy illusion in place, and keep on the U.S. taxpayers' gravy train.

Pathetic asses.

Thank you for posting this. It's one for the files, for sure. (Why do they even try to get anyone to believe there's only 1,300 "false positives?" Why even make up such an innocuous term for outright lying about cold blooded murder?
