"Nonviolence means you have to trust people who are not trustworthy," he added.

I'd like to introduce you to Jeffrey Dahmer.
Just string this catsup packet around your neck...

Amazing...NOT !!!

Faced with kidnapping and (probable) death, he is suddenly an American and ( reading between the lines ) makes use of this to escape his fate.

Now this anal orifice will come home and bray about how nice the guerillas are, and how the US should be nice to them...

American college professor and peace activist Bernard Lafayette came to Colombia hoping to meet with Colombian rebels.

And this guy is a professor! Does he also play with coral snakes?

After he was freed, Lafayette went to Medellin, Colombia's second-largest city, where he was to lead a conference on nonviolence along with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire of Ireland.

What do you do with people like this? You just know that if they had kept him someone or several someones would have put their lives in danger to rescue him.

I don't know. Maybe we should just wash our hands of this type. If he gets taken again tell the rebels, "fine, you want him you have to keep him."

The word that 'means you have to trust people who are not trustworthy' is not called Nonviolence. Its called Stupidity.

Lafayette, who had marched with the Rev. Martin Luther King and by his count was arrested 27 times during U.S. civil rights protests, came to Colombia hoping to talk peace to the rebels, who have been waging war against a succession of elected governments in this South American country for 38 years.

That is his first mistake: he left without Jesse Jackson.
