A FARC Fan's Notes[Democrat working with Terrorist]
WSJ- Opinion Journal ^ | 03/25/08 | WSJ- Editorial

A hard drive recovered from the computer of a killed Colombian guerrilla has offered more insights into the opposition of House Democrats to the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement.

A military strike three weeks ago killed Raúl Reyes, No. 2 in command of the FARC, Colombia's most notorious terrorist group. The Reyes hard drive reveals an ardent effort to do business directly with the FARC by Congressman James McGovern (D., Mass.), a leading opponent of the free-trade deal. Mr. McGovern has been working with an American go-between, who has been offering the rebels help in undermining Colombia's elected and popular government.

He should be in jail, as far as I’m concerned. But neither will happen to him, because it is clear that he believes (correctly) that his Dem cronies are also on the side of FARC and see their own country as the enemy.

Just setting a baseline! As far as I’m concerned, he should be delivered over to whatever remains of the right-wing paramilitaries.

He should be arrested, shipped to Ft. Leavenworth, waterboarded for intelligence info and tried by a military tribunal for treason.
Upon his conviction, he should be hanged publicly on the Mall in DC.

“We think the documents reveal something else entirely: Some Democrats oppose the Colombia trade deal because they sympathize more with FARC’s terrorists than with a U.S. antiterror ally.”

A Democrat sending one of his lackeys to make nice with Communist terrorists? I breathlessly await a report on this from the major networks. NOT.

That is nothing new for the Democrats. The Democrat Party has been working to undermine the United States Constitution, and the its institutions for years. And unfortunately they have succeeded to a great extent.

McGovern’s actions with FARC are unacceptable.
