Re: NYT: Andes Battle: Right vs. Left vs. Civilians vs. Troops

Watching it from a .mil or intel perspective I would have to agree with
your note. I started a "demonization of FARC" file a few months ago. The US
couldn't have asked for better luck than the alleged killing of the
American indig. activists.  Then again, maybe the US did ask. FARC doesn't
have the Internet Capability that the Zapatista's have to get their side of
the story out. A bad mistake in the age of infowar.

Judging from reports of changes in tactics by the Colombian Army I would
suspect that there are some empty barracks that some Elite U.S. Special
Forces used to occupy. It's three o'clock do you know where your Seal Team
is?;)
