This should place the critics of Colombia''s government into dormancy.

Well, I''m so glad that they were all rescued! What a wonderful blessing. President Uribe has been tough on the FARC and all terrorists since he took the presidency of Colombia and has done a great job. After over 40 years of violence un such a beautiful country, rich in soil, minerals, and nature, the people realized being tough is the only way to deal with thugs, and they have supported their president 100%. There''s a lesson there for us. All the spoiled people in this country do is follow the lead of the opposition party and blame all their problems on the president. It''s not easy making decisions and sometimes they do not produce the outcome expected. This one yielded wonderful results and I''m so happy for the families of our three American citizens and the rest of the colombians who had been imprisioned, some for over 12 years. Good for President Uribe and his Army!

I think the official story is the 3 contractors were working for Northrop-Grumman and just happened to be flying a single engine plane way down in southern Colombia when their engine quit.

Put through the govt bs filter, that really means: they were probably CIA or DEA or former spooks. There are plenty of other simple businessmen who have been kidnapped and set free after their company paid a ransom. But we all know the US govt doesn''t do that, right? wink-wink!

That''s great for these three American military contractors - now hopefully we will all be rescued from the Leftist Obamas.

"This was primarily a Colombian operation..."???

You bet the US was in on this!

It''s also strange the story has changed little by little as the news day has progressed. We''ll probably never get the true version of events. Remember Jessica Lynch? Remember Pat Tillman? This will probably end up as a made-for-TV movie and no doubt John McCain or his people will try to imply some connection to the rescue. Very suspicious timing, that he would just coincidentally be down there on his 4th of July weekend.

Only the most evil or cynical person would even try to find anything negative in this story.

I am neither, I just call it the way I see it. I am very glad the people are back safely. But they are just the tip of the ''iceberg'' in this game of politics. there are over 700 still missing, where is their rescue?

The only difference between Terrorists and freedom fighters is P.O.V. (point of view)
