Is Uribe (Colombia) still on Barney Franks shit list?

Will Plan Colombia be stopped, reduced, modified or transformed into employment opportunities for Mimes.

Colombia

Dear Mr. President,

As a gay man who has been very supportive of your efforts to defeat the anti-democratic forces in Colombia, I was personally as well as officially offended by your government’s failure to support the request of two gay and lesbian organizations to receive consultative status at the UN. There was clearly no reason other than the fact that they represented gays and lesbians that led to their rejection, and I am sorry that you refused to join several democratic nations in support of their request. Your lack of respect for the essential dignity of myself and other gay and lesbian people is, as I said, deeply disappointing to me.

He sounds a peevish twerp to me.

He'd also profit from fewer feeds of burgers and pies, to look at him.

On the bright side...(for lack of a better term) ...other recent developments, though not exactly Uribe's sole responsibility in the strictest sense, have been more "pro-gay", in Colombia itself.
