Colombian Cali Cartel Drug kingpin caught:
"He was put on a Miami-bound plane about two weeks after President Bush (news - web sites) visited Colombia to solidify his alliance with President Alvaro Uribe against "narcoterrorists."
Rodriguez Orejuela faces drug trafficking and money laundering charges in Miami, where he was indicted as part of Operation Cornerstone, a federal investigation that began in 1991 and resulted in the seizure of nearly 50,000 kilos of cocaine and $15 million in U.S. currency.
"Gilberto Rodriguez-Orejuela is alleged to have trafficked in illegal drugs that tear at the fabric of society and draw the innocent away from safe and productive lives," U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) said in a written statement.
Outstanding news! Another one of President Bush's carefullly tended alliances yields results!
BTW, I keep meaning to tell you that I am sorry about your father.
My dad passed away about a week before election day. The holidays are sure going to be hard.
I'll keep you in my prayers for strength, as I pray for strength for my own family.
Did you see the thread about my Dad?

This link is to the last part of the thread, just hours before he died.
I was very proud of him. My mom got a letter from President Bush, and President G. H. W. Bush also.
I haven't seen her letters yet.
It's so hard to lose a parent and I'm sorry you have recently had to go through it also.
Prayers for you....
