Please take a moment to look at the videos provided by rabs, ALSO related to Soacha, Colombia. Not surprisingly, there's a totally image of that town available to people concerned with the havoc wrought in Colombia after Bill Clinton's Plan Colombia was initiated, under the beady watchful eyes of Alvaro Uribe.

Parts I and II of video featuring actual news clips from Colombia:

"Poverty, a crime that is paid for with death."

"...It tells the story of the poor youths from Soacha (poverty-stricken slum area on the outskirts of Bogota) who were offered jobs elsewhere in Colombia and a month later wound up as false positives, killed by the Colombian army. Video shows mothers of two of the youths, government claims that the FARC had killed them, then Santos saying they were killed in combat, uribe saying the same, until the truth finally came out in NGOs and Colombian and international media. This was happening in August 2008 when JM santos was defense minister.

Video is in Spanish, but easy to follow.
