Highlighted Story I – "Implications of the Colombian Hostage Rescue." The liberation of former Colombian presidential candidate, Ingrid Betancourt, along with three Americans and eleven Colombian hostages was not just an exemplary military operation carried out by the Colombian army but was an action that could have far wider implications. It was a major blow which could be the beginning of the end of a 40 year old guerilla movement known as The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). To continue reading, please open the attachment.
Highlighted Story II – "Thank you Mr. Uribe." Those of us who have been following the news about the hostages' inferno at the hands of the narco-terrorist group known as the FARC are still amazed by the brilliant rescue of fifteen of them last week by the Colombian military, including eleven policemen and armed forces personnel and their most valuable captives: Ingrid Betancourt and the three American contractors. Although most world leaders are praising President Uribe and the Colombian armed forces for the stunning outcome, there are some who received the news as a blow.

Can Mrs. Kirchner Last as the President of Argentina?
Word through the grapevine is that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner won't last as President of Argentina. After a seventy day rural strike, Fernández's popularity has sunk as protests by farmers continue to threaten food shortages and has frozen farm exports. This has led to road blockages and anti-government demonstrations.
