The REAL reason FARC negotiations broke down (UPDATED)
Someone go tell Ollie Stone that the Miami Herald reveals the real reason that Chavez’ negotiations with FARC failed last weekend;
The man who dropped off the suspected baby of a kidnapped woman at a rural Colombian infirmary two years ago was given a deadline of Dec. 30 by FARC rebels to return the boy, Colombian authorities said Thursday.
”In 2005, members of the FARC came to his house to give him the child because they weren’t able to care for him during troop movements and combat,” said Col. Eugenio Ramos, head of police in the rebel-controlled province of Guaviare.
”They returned last month and gave him a deadline of Dec. 30 to produce the child, saying he and his family’s lives were in danger if he didn’t,” Ramos told RCN television.
From Las Armas de Coronel, the quotes from Stone as he left Chavez’ company of boobs;
Oliver Stone has just declared, in his way back to Caracas after the Colombian hostage fiasco, that “Chavez is a great man” and Uribe is “the guilty party, a fraud”.
Well, Ollie, I guess we know who the real fraud is here, don’t we? The party that was trading on the life of a hostage they didn’t have – a hostage they couldn’t even locate.
So, I guess Stone will be apologizing any minute for flying off the handle.
Ooops, Kate had this up two days ago.
UPDATE: CNN reports that a DNA test was taken on the boy thought to be the son of a hostage-taking narco-terrorist;
DNA analysis indicates a 3-year-old boy living in a Bogota foster home is the child of a woman held captive by leftist rebels for nearly six years, an official in Colombia’s federal prosecutor’s office said Friday.
The results suggest President Alvaro Uribe was right — and that the leftist rebels misled Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and the world when they promised to release the boy along with his mother Clara Rojas and another hostage from their jungle camps.
“There’s a very high probability he’s Emmanuel,” said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly and thus spoke on condition of anonymity. “The DNA of the boy is the same as his alleged grandmother.”
(Emphasis mine) Someone better screen shot that story – CNN says Uribe was right.
Update: Kate sends me a screen shot. I mean CNN says Uribe was right – next thing you know they’ll be calling Castro mean.
