American Executed in Columbia

FARC Terrorists Have Executed an American Civilian

FARC Terrorists in Columbia have kidnapped four Americans. Three of them are still being held and tortured. The fourth has been murdered.

‘The bodies of a fourth American and a Colombian soldier, identified today as army intelligence Sgt. Luis Alcides Cruz, were discovered near the wreckage with gunshot wounds. Colombian officials said the two were executed, and forensics experts from the U.S. Embassy in Bogota, the capital, began examining the bodies today to make a formal determination.’

As I had speculated, the plane did not simply "go down". It was shot down.

When is Dubya going to concentrate a meaningful portion of the War on Terror against the Terrorists in our own back yard? When will he at least send in Delta Force to free our people? That's what they're for, dammit.
