“Rebels’ hostages ‘live like the dead’”
PARIS —
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The document was part of a haul of letters and grainy video seized from captured leftist guerrillas that showed for the first time since 2003 that Mrs. Betancourt and three U.S. contract workers were still alive.
Mrs. Betancourt, a former presidential candidate kidnapped by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 2002, tells how she sleeps under a mosquito net in a hammock, washes in rivers and says she has tried to escape.
“All these years have been terrible, but I don’t think I would still be alive without the commitment they have brought to all of us here, who live like the dead,” she wrote, according to Reuters news agency.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Urgent legislative changes are needed to improve the information flow between CSIS and the RCMP to keep Canadians safe from an increasing terrorist threat, former RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli told the Air India inquiry Friday.
Zaccardelli said many of the same problems between the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the RCMP that existed when Air India Flight 182 was bombed in 1985 remain 22 years later.”
