Its already been demonstrated over 80% of the killings in Colombia have been committed by Uribe's thugs ( next to him, Augusto Pinochet compares to Roger Rabbitt).

How is it Sierraconnection either a web site or a blogger?<They seems to have more information than we ever recieve from El Tiempo or any of the international media, You have research to find any kind of real information concerning the latest peace treaty,almost like it no big deal just another local skirmish,which we all know is not the case.
