19. Nice try.There HAS been prosecution of some massive criminality among politicians & narcotraffickers

Feb 2012

in the fairly recent past. My claims concerning no prosecution earlier were ALL claims made by various human rights groups themselves, as well as other entities.

Only in the recent past has ANY prosecution been undertaken with any appearance of seriousness, and it seems to connect directly with the end of Alvaro Uribe's second term, Uribe, Bush friend, whose intelligence agency was spying upon the Colombian Supreme Court, and political opponents, as well as human rights workers, and union people, etc.

Justice didn't stand a chance when Bush's friend was stinking up the president's office.

My posts regarding prosecution of Colombian politicians and paramilitaries have appeared in BOTH forums, as have posts which repeated during Uribe's time that Colombia didn't prosecute persecution of the left, of the indigenous, of human rights workers, etc.

Your attempt to portray me of duplicity, of saying one thing in one forum and the absolute opposite in another is incomprehensible, as any DU'er without an agenda would recognize instantly.

Thank goodness. Now they'll be able to control the riff-raff. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #1
