Rescue gone awry

A story in yesterday’s Spectator mixed up who rescued whom in the Colombian raid that freed Ingrid Betancourt and several other hostages. The Colombian military rescued them from a guerrilla group known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
As well, a story in Thursday’s paper about the rescue misspelled Colombia. We apologize for the errors. Link

    hehehehehhe, Its very funny. First of I like my beloved US Goverment and how they they play around words. for instance,”Mercenaries” like Gonsalves are known as a “Goverment Contractors” instead of “Mercenary”. As for Gonsalves, to tell u truth FARC treated u so nice by letting u live.And you have no body to blame except your self. U r greediness and stupidity led u in the Lion’s dengeon. Thank god you are safe and sound. I tell what there are so many ways to make a living except killing people and fighting in foreign lands. Find a decent job and stop thinking about Columbia and its misery because that is none of your bussiness boy. And remember being International hit man wont helpfull in your job resume.
