Read OUT OF CAPTIVITY the 3 guys wrote it about their captivity

I like how uribe states in spanish how the american hostages were as important as the other colombian hostages which held in capativity as the same time as them. Goes to show whether your american or french, it doesnt give you priority over other people.

If President Uribe is sincere in his statement that "the three Americans kidnapped by FARC are as important as the 70 Colombians that remain kidnapped by this organization," then how come it seems that the Colombian government exerts massive effort and enormous expense to free the foreign hostages only, but does not exert equal effort and expense to free ordinary Colombian hostages?

Well, my brilliant friend, what country do you think is supplying him with most of the training and military equipment that made this possible? Are you really that retarted?

[vonokin]

Is very sad to see MERCENARIES(CIA)being allowed

to expose their life for a lost cause which

is what the so call war on Drugs is in Colombia or any other place.

"Three American contractors..."

Call a spade, a spade, Al Jazeera. They are MERCENARIES. When was the last time any media used that term? It's like it just dropped out of the English language.

When you're on the American "dole", you're "contractor", not a "mercenary". After all, the American government doesn't believe in hiring "mercenaries". I say that because there is a legal distinction, even if there isn't a practical one. Example: "contractors" cannot be sued in Federal court, but "mercenaries" can.

If they fight against the NWO, they're mercenaries.

If they fight for the NWO, they're contractors.

If they fight against the NWO, they're guerillas.

If they fight for the NWO, they're freedom fighters.

If they fight against the NWO, they're insurgents.

If they fight for the NWO, they're patriots.

[tobiasaurusrex]

Further, the NWO doesn't kidnap and torture people. They employ extroardinary rendition and enhanced interrogation.

[s3mir12]

True.

[blunt1984]

The "so-called war on drugs" is correct!

I'm happy that these hostages are free, but the American military and private contractors shouldn't be involved in other countries' affairs anyway!

If they weren't in Columbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. in the first place, they wouldn't be in a position to be killed or kidnapped.
