I am not surprised this has not received much attention from the U.S. or colombian governments after it was published in Semana.

Miguel says on Aug 22, 2006, 08:31: IMHO It's not very wise to shortchange a former Colombian soldier/current mercenary 6k a month. This story has been discussed in length on CBlog. "There is nothing lower than the human race...except for the French." - Mark Twain 1878-79 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

miamimike says on Aug 22, 2006, 08:52: Talk About a Screwjob,,,,, And a Dirty trick! $6000 less monthly then the Deal called for, like the one Col Soldier said, "Who would risk their Life in Iraq for a paltry $1000 monthly when he was earning more then that in his secure job? Looks like their Recruiter, ID Systems, is pocketing some extra cash. Being a Mercenary Soldier of Fortune is a Dirty Business and alwys has been, What I can't understand is why Urribe hasn't conferred with Bush/Cheney who could readily rectify this situation, What a Lousy Deal,,, No hay Peor Ciego que el que no quiere Ver o Sordo que el que no quiera Oir--Soy Yo, Sarah Palin, Wasilla Alaska. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

carlosnanez says on Sep 23, 2006, 02:38: How can we Help? I know there nothing we can do about the contract or anything else but maybe we can send them products for personal use, shampoo, soap etc. Maybe a first aid kits. I'm here in Iraq and I see civilians going to the hospital getting medical assistance regarles of where there are from, I mean the question doesn'e even come up so I don't know where there are going for medical help. If they go to the local hospital they'll be seen. Is there a way to get in contact with them?
