Hugo Chavez Phone Call Allowed Colombians to Locate FARC Camp (Translation)

Apparently the aid we are giving Colombia in their fight against the narco-trafficking FARC terrorists extends to radio intercept training for their intelligence services. If taking Reyes down is an example of my taxes at work, I'm rather pleased right now.

I love the comment from the Colombian intelligence official about the "irony" of the fact that it is Hugo Chavez who gave up the location of the FARC encampment. Hugo got sloppy here and didn't scramble the call. Shame on you Hugo!

And if I may post a message to other bloggers with whom I am in contact, you are welcome to copy the translation and use it as you wish.

This is my favorite news story of the year thus far.

A ping for some who are interested.

I still have not retrieved my "Latin American Left Watch" ping list from my old PC yet, but I'll get to it soon.

If any of you know some who may be interested, and especially those I've left out, send them a ping for me.

According to RCN, "the same intelligence official -- who expressly requested anonymity -- said that there is no end to the irony that it has been a call of President Chavez which permitted us to take Reyes down."

Delicious.

Wouldn't have made any difference...............

Fortunately for the Colombian government, they don’t have a democrat congress in control of their international security and homeland defense policies.

We should encourage speculation that Chavez did this on purpose, and that he betrayed FARC.

Hey Hugo, I hear barbiturates are great for insomnia.

[listenhillary]

This is why Hugo was spitting nails and got so hot and full of bluster.

[kidd]

Would it have been necessary to scramble the call, or were they able to triangulate a position?

[Red Badger]

Triangulation, Satellite data, etc. The towers that are activated provide all the necessary data.......

Gohs... It makes you long for the good old days when the CIA were really something :)

[listenhillary]

They would have to know who was talking I would presume.

Fantastic news! Thank you for posting.

Thanks for your work and the ping, StJacques!

Even though Hugo is a few bricks short of a load, I hope he keeps up the good work. lol

[Niteranger68]

I thank God that Hugo is a retarded monkey.

Thanks for the ping!

I’m mainly monitoring this whole mess via http://noticias24.com they seem to have the latest and greatest on anything about this conflict.

I read another article indicating that INTERPOL had warned the president of Ecuador about this guy’s location in their country, also France has started to take a harsher stance against the FARC, it seems Sarkozy is losing his patience at the lack of progress with the “Ingrid” situation.
