Tom, Marc, Keith 2007: Come Home

On 30 November 2007 we saw 16 of the FARC held hostages in a video captured by the Colombian Army. It's been over four years for the Americans, Marc Gonsalves, Thomas Howes, and Keith Stansell. It's been more than five years for Ingrid Betancourt and almost 12 years for some of the military and police hostages. It's tiem for the FARC, the terrorist drug dealing guerrillas to let them go...without conditions.

Turn off the music so that people can hear the messages by the hostages to thier loved ones. That is far more powerful than an overused song.

@onegirrl There are ONLY about 28 seconds of Thomas Howes speaking... If you want that go to the plain video...which does exist. This is a MUSIC video and a tribute. Plus, I made this almost four years ago... They're free. So, changing it is kind of irrelevant at this point, dontcha think?

[sdaytonk]

Well, gee whiz! If the FARC says it, well, gosh, it MUST be true. No wonder they have a whopping 1% approval among Colombians!

What a load of mierda from a cabal of narcoterrorists...

[sdaytonk]

Evil...indeed!

Although the order of the posted comments doesn't make it so clear, the negative comments from me (and others) are for whoever kimWSSmith is. That person is pretty solidly ignorant about Colombia and, apparently, a whole host of issues. Sorry for any confusion. Viva Colombia! Libertad sin condiciones! YA!!!

[sdaytonk]

Well, not to burst your bubble--and not to take props away from the COLMIL, because they are GREAT!, but who has been training the Colombian Military for the past ten years? Anyone? Bueller? The U.S. Military! Ahhh... OK.

Chavez is a sewer rat bastard. I hope he dies a slow, cruel death.

@Guevaristas Incorrect. FARC is in no way a sovereign state or entity, nor is it or should it be treated as such. Those brainless monkeys in the back shitlands of Colombia who held these men captive are guilty in every way of every and any crime they are accused of for this. And sadly, they match your intellect. Also, your clinging to communism is the most transparent of defense mechanisms wherein you are revealing your own pathetic mental state and horrendous insecurities & inadequacies.

this is such a sad video :(

[manuelfigueroa2]

great video...but the music is too loud../.can't hear parts of the message of the hostage.

[atollado]

FARC= Piece of shit.

[MELOLLIE]

Dios bendiga a todos los secuestrados.

Dios guarde a Colombia de tanto ignorante que cree que secuestrando y asesinando inocentes se consigue la igualdad.

Es hora que las FARC reconozca que perdio su norte y no son mas que productores y traficantes de narcoticos ademas de ser secuestradores, terroristas que siembran el terror de propios y extranjeros.

I would really like to meet you guys, email me. I just finish your book, thanks good you are free!!!
