One of the reasons FARC is seeking foreign adventures is that Colombia is really hitting them hard, finally, after years of almost giving the country away (the guns should also read, "Thanks Bill Clinton").

Mary Anastasia O'Grady had a very good column in the WSJ yesterday about how the (inevitably left-wing) NGOs are contributing to this situation by doing things like slanting their data or wilfully misinterpreting it, so that international agencies and other countries will be discouraged from helping the Colombian government. This is true throughout Latin America, where we have the violence of the guerrilla groups on one hand, and on the other, the intellectual duplicity and manipulation of the NGOs providing support and cover for the violence.

Their goal is complete Communist domination of Latin America.

President Uribe made the same point about so-called "human rights" groups whose job is to imply moral equivalence between the government and the rebels.

The Liberal media didn't miss the opportunity to bash him.
