Betancourt is an ungrateful diva. she went into farc territory even after being warned by the military to gain exposure. then she acts like a diva once in custody, then after getting rescued, she wants reparations from the Colombian government. what a bitch.

Thanks for posting this, the quality is amazing. I believe those little toys can be a part of the solution once we can use them right. Our society needs a major change and that I think can only be organized and managed using these little toys, I actually think those little toys are our only hope. It is hard for politicians to make a change when money makes power, and power controls society more than policy.

I am very impressed by Mrs Betancourt interview and book. I am aware of her less than ideal ordeal in the prison. She is the only person from Colombia that is international and sheds light on FARC and kidnapping. Before her book I had no clue that the FARC continued to imprison people as recent as 2002.

I am curious if there are still prisoners in the Colombian jungle.

All the comentaries about this lady wasn't good at all. I think she is not good as an human being, The real human being appear when you re under pressure...

Asking for 2 millons dollars after her rescue...! you re kidding...
