That’s right the Colombian government spent months arranging the infiltration of its agents, getting the intel on the location of the fifteen hostages and then sat around twiddling their thumbs until Sen. McCain showed up for a photo op. But since there are no pictures of Ingrid Bettancourt or the Americans holding flowers and shaking hands with the senator from Arizona then the whole plot seems like a terrible waste of energy. Maybe it was a conspiracy by FTD and not the CIA?
Maybe justaseer was referring to Lear’s murderous daughter, Regan. Plus to claim that this intel came from Moreno tends to miss the fact that the Colombians admitted that it took months to infiltrate the FARC senior command and the intelligence gathered from the estimated 9,000 ex-FARC fighters that surrendered to the government and received amnesty over the last year and a half. Plus I’m sure that Terry Anderson, Terry Waite and Thomas Sutherland must have been terribly confused when they were released in Lebanon during the spring of 1991. Which election year was that?
