FARC and the massacre at La Gabarra

Following up on yesterday’s post on the massacre at La Gabarra. As I suggested, the place to go to find FARC’s views is ANNCOL and they have a statement now on their site, taking responsibility for what happened, claiming that everyone they killed were paramilitaries, and accusing the Colombian government, the ‘bourgeois press’, and the human rights organizations of crying ‘crocodile tears’. Uribe took the opportunity to denounce human rights organizations generally, and specifically Amnesty International, who responded publicly to the President’s filthy accusations.
