'Stansell, 44, [former marine of Florida] told the Associated Press:

"I watched her [Bentancourt] try to take over the camp with an arrogance that was out of control. Some of the [FARC] guards treated us better than she did."

How much attention was given to these kidnappings before Ingrid was taken? Mankind has been given free will and many choose to wield their will for evil, and without encroaching upon our will GOD in all things brings forth good.

hello

Actually, Bush is so far removed from the Right that he's pissed off all the conservatives. He's not held to his campaign promises but then again, none of them ever do.

Chavez and Bush are the same, one to the right and one to the left

[jtpaladin]

For one thing, FARC is a commie group. Chavez is a hardcore socialist. Where the hell have you been? And choosing Chavez over Bush does say a great deal about where your head is. I know that both sides get played but not in every case. Certainly not in this case. Not everything is a damn conspiracy. If you actually read you could figure out what is and what is not.
