Thanks for posting that article on _Bush's puppet, Alvaro Uribe. This was very interesting, concerning his impressive election: :silly:

Mapiripán is the site of one of the worst paramilitary massacres to date, yet many of the town’s residents voted for the “paramilitary” candidate, Uribe. Father Javier Giraldo of the Colombian human rights group Justicia y Paz was in Mapiripán on election day: “There was a great deal of fraud. There were paramilitaries in the voting booths. They destroyed a lot of ballots. This was denounced to the Ombudsman, but nothing happened.” Electoral fraud, widespread paramilitary threats—denounced by virtually all the other candidates during the election campaign—and the almost total decimation of the electoral left in the preceding decade all contributed to Uribe’s election victory.

Sounds like _{Jeb Bush's} kingdom, Florida!

Concerning his dad: isn't it funny that everytime there's a massacre, the FARC gets blamed, yet when you read witness accounts, it's ALWAYS the paramilitaries who bring the chain saws, clubs, knives, guns of every kind and brutally murder the villagers. The article said it has been claimed the FARC killed his dad, who was wanted for extradition to the U.S. for drug trafficking when he was bumped off. Not hard to guess who wanted him out of the way immediately! These people are shameless. No honor at all.
