Colombian news headlines | Betancourt's mom trusts Cordoba, two attacks in Bogotá, "FARC wanted to kill Uribe"

"Betancourt’s mother doesn’t doubt Córdoba
Yolanda Pulecio, mother of Ingrid Betancourt, says she supports Colombian senator Piedad Córdoba, who was accused in the media of having advised the FARC not to liberate their French-Colombian hostage"

Those two deserve each other.

Betancourt is and always was a fool.

Like the work you have put into this site...Looks like there are some recent attempts at someone trying to create an idea of insecurity with the bombing of police, energy towers and now a comment that FARC is plotting against Uribe? Is this really FARC or a FARCE copy cat group? Why does this remind me of shades of the IRA....?

Either way, keep up the good work - thanks

Betancourt's mother is a bigger fool than her daughter. I guess we know where Ingrid gets her questionable judgment.

I always laugh at the "FARC Wanted to Kill Uribe" kind of news announcements. This is kind of like saying that the sun rises in the East and that it rains a lot in Bogota. Cue up the presses the day the FARC stops wanting and trying to kill Uribe.

I really think, for sure, Cordoba, Pulecio, Betancourt's and the rest of those FARC-ERS are up to something, and it ain't pretty!
Cheers
