Uribe has NO respect for Colombia... where's the PBH 'protectors' of Colombian integrity when there's such blatant foul?

Stating the obvious, but this is at least the fourth or fifth topic dealing with this same subject, even though it's mainly concerned with the Colombiareports.com headlines, which are useful in their own right, some observations aside.

Can't exactly expect too much discussion in each and every topic.

Other than that...as mentioned before, Uribe's actions continue to be questionable and I cannot support them, as a whole and especially under these circumstances.

the funniest bit is that Uribe said the supreme court was infiltrated by paras and supported the FARC... very smart comment. But overall the president's respect for colombias institutionality is non existent (I predicted it ha!)
