Just saw this now. To me, this looks like it'll be a daring move.

It at least looks like a plan. I can only hope it works.

very sensitive & bold move at the same time. a great strategy to put the world spotlight on those barbarians.

* the countermove for the farc would be to split the hostages up and scatter them all over the jungle. let's hope that doesn't happen.

trying to walk a straight line on sour mash and cheap wine...

Uh, gotta find them first. Then get there.

Chalk one up for rhetoric.

Ya know, articles like this one piss me off. They promote Chavez' role in the recent release - exactly what he wanted all along - but fail to mention that within 10 days, 6 more people were kidnapped, and an additional 6 kidnap victims were killed by FARC.

Adding one more paragraph, with the latest kidnapping/murder news, could help the world understand a little better what FARC really is....

You mean they actually know where the rebels camps are? Any particular reason why they don' go after the FARC secretariat?

Smile if you are a thinker!

The plan sounds like a grand blood bathe, to me.
I hope I'm wrong.
