On War - Chasing Shining Path - 12 Jan 09 - Part 2

The Shining Path is on the move again. The formerly idealistic Maoist guerrilla force now models itself on the Farc in Colombia. It supports its operations by drug trafficking. Josh Rushing embeds with the Peruvian military as it goes on raids to flush out guerrillas and destroy the cocaine labs that fund them.

@tonilourdes that is sad last sentence. My friedns are Missionaries....serving very humble Peruvians. The husband is not an idiot. He graduated from VMI and has an engineering degree. They also run aan orphanage for children with phsical problems that have been abandoned. They do not make money down there. They live simply and are supported by a Christian Church. My friend has even learned Quecha (or whatevcer the local dialect is) . He is helping you wives fellow countrymen, that is all.

@loki109 My wife is from Peru, I also own property there but I dont live there because nobody really want to live in Peru, and I know both Peruvians who belive the regime and more honest ones who know the reallity... the crimes of the regime is today well known for most people in the world with some interest i truth and justice and facts are not impossible to find (if you want). I dont know what idiots you know but also remember that Peru is one of the worlds most corrupt semifascist states

@tonilourdes this is an amazing comment. Do you live in Peru? I know pwoplw who do......they are not saying what you are......

[tonilourdes]

@loki109 Well then you also know that the peruvian regime today and in the past is a terrorist regime far more worse than "shining path"

The presenter is a superficial, sensationalist clueless fucking idiot.

@abtazz12 What is the way?

[dogdoom]

@abtazz12 neither is killing and robbing the poor....but the U.S. doesnt seem to mind....When the indigenous people stand up and defend themselves......they become terrorists..

The way they attempt to manipulate viewers through the voice-overs is pretty disappointing.

Al Jazeera is better than this.
