"Guerrillas’ arrest was illegal, say lawyers"
That's the only thing that was missing in this whole BS operation... As if these 'arresters' don't know the law...

PS. this news just pisses the hell out of me, and I hope it does to more people as well, but if it doesn't then whatever, I'm off for more stampeding

There's already an update on that.

The judiciary and the prosecutors disagree with the defense's claim that the detention was illegal.

Not that such a thing is shocking, but there it is.

Carceleros de Ingrid, 'César' y 'Enrique Gafas' seguirán en prisión

Así lo determinó el Tribunal Superior de Bogotá al negar un recurso de hábeas corpus que había interpuesto la defensa.

Previamente a esta decisión, la Fiscalía también había negado este recurso.

El planteamiento de la defensa de los guerrilleros, capturados la semana pasada en la exitosa operación de rescate de los 15 secuestrados, argumenta que su detención fue ilegal.

Según Iguarán, el hábeas corpus no aplica porque estas personas tenían órdenes de captura por los delitos de secuestro desde antes de que se implementara el actual Sistema Acusatorio.

Can the National Army make an argument that Cesar and his bumboy and being held in 'protective custody' to protect them from their brothers-in-arms?

Because they both dead men on the street.

' a la orden!'

Shakespeare had it right in Henry Vl when he wrote, "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers"

Please be sure and read the link to see how just ungrateful some people can be; Ingrid Betancourt did everything but break into a rousing chorus of "Kumbaya."

People we know and on the street are amazed and p- - - ed. Centavo to a peso she will never be elected.
