Wanted ex-DAS Director photographed partying in Panama

Colombia's former head of national intelligence (DAS), who is wanted by the Colombian government for her role in a wiretapping scandal, was photographed at a party on November 12 in Panama where she had sought asylum.

Former DAS Director Maria Pilar Hurtado was photographed at a Panamanian party wearing a bunny costume with long ears, which blatantly parodied her eavesdropping and wiretapping scandal, according to photographer Daniel Samper Ospina.

Hurtado has been in exile in Panama since last year, and Colombia's Supreme Court has filed a claim against Panama's approval of her extradition.

Amid the controversy and the insistance of the Colombian government for her return, Panama's president and vice president are now in opposition, accusing each other of having dealt with the extradition of Hurtado.

...and his 'hunting' for Iraq's WMDS under the rug in the oval office, as a joke.

Also reminiscent of the Venezuela coupsters' party at the U.S. embassy, where the entertainment was a play featuring Hugo Chavez in a gorilla costume.

The rightwing, here and in LatAm, is disgustingly similar in its coarseness.

Too bad Obama made a deal with it that includes 'there.'
