The Euros conveniently forget that Chavez had announced a $500million hostage ransom last December, which came to nothing (my blog’s moving and it’s down for the moment so this link may not work yet).
If the Swiss want to believe that the FARC would accept measly $20million for this deal, then they must also admit that the Colombian government has weakened the FARC to the point where the FARC would take an amount which in the drug dealing world amounts to chump change.
Either way, it’s a victory for Alvaro Uribe and Colombia. The FARC’s four most valuable hostages, along with 11 Colombian officers and NCOs are free, and the FARC is on the run.
