Not quite so fast. Did I miss something? Does not that article speak of the news out of Colombia as of last Sunday and we are now halfway through Thursday?

Yet another example of terrible reporting. We had a discussion about this a few days ago and there is no deal done yet. The official farc line is that they are still wanting to do the "humanitarian" exchange.

Agreed terrible reporting. It is almost as the FARC werelaying down their guns from the tones of the article.

Brians, I don't mean to shoot the messenger. Unfortunately, this is not the only media outlet that has misinterpreted the situation.

I wonder how Uncle Hugo is going to handle the surrender of the FARC? I am sure they were a major part of his master socialist plan for South America's New Deal! If they do put down their guns and free the hostages, wonderful Colombia is in for one hell of a "Peace at Last Party!"
