we should remember that Eleven of the 12 legislative deputies of the western department of Valle del Cauca who the FARC had held for more than five years were killed Jun. 18 2007 we should remember that Antioquia state Governor Guillermo Gaviria Correa was killed on May 5, 2003, also that day was killed a former Defence Minister Gilberto Echeverri among ten hostages massacred by FARC. Mr Gaviria and Mr Echeverri were captured during a peace march in Medellin a year before. even thought the guerrilla has recently killed all the goverment people mentioned on the comments of this video the Colombian goverment in a peace gesture freed 27 guerrilla members from jail and later the goverment freed 125 more guerrilla members. On June 05, 2007 The Colombian government released a high-ranking Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) leader ( Rodrigo Granda ) in a possible prelude to freedom for a prominent hostage held by the guerrillas that hostage is Ingrid Betancourt and she is still dying on the jungle keept chained to a pole like an animal by the FARC terrorists. Now days the colombian goverment has already build an acceptable team of physicians ( accepted by the international community ) to deploy to the jungle so they can check the hostages health and give them medicine and possibly save their lives, as we know they are suffering of many deseases adquired in the jungle during years of captivity. But the FARC terrorist do not allow the team to have access to the hostages , the terrorists use the weak health state of the hostages to blackmail the colombian people. The terrorists want to have a safe haven in the colombian territory. But we should not forget that in 1998 the colombian goverment gave them a safe haven during months which terrorists used to trained their members with international techniques in terrorism from IRA , from ETA , they also traffiked drugs freely , they planned in total comfort their future attacks , they gathered with international revolutionary members as Rodriguez chacin and Daniel Ortega multiple times. The end of that peace process came when the Terrorist kidnapped Gechem, then the president of the Colombia Senate's peace commission on Feb. 20, 2002, when guerrillas hijacked a commercial jet and forced it to land on a highway. The government at the time had aerial photographs that showed the FARC had built more than 25 illegal airstrips to fly out drug shipments as well as training camps and a prison. A bit of history: On 8 June, 1998 Mr Pastrana declared that he himself, as president elect, would go to the jungle to meet the guerrilla leaders if it was necessary for peace. Four days before the second round, the FARC's international office in Mexico released a letter to Mr Pastrana in which it expressed its willingness to meet him if he was elected president. After that signal, analysts say, Mr Pastrana was perceived as a candidate who was prepared to take great risks to bring peace to a country torn by civil conflict for more than 30 years. Andres Pastrana won the elections, and true to his promise, 18 days later the president elect was meeting FARC leader Manuel Marulanda in the jungle. Mr Pastrana was optimistic that his government could negotiate with the rebels, and the government soon acceded to rebel demands for a 42,000 square kilometre safe haven. Formal peace talks between the government and the FARC began, but the violence continued - talks were often interrupted because of particularly brutal rebel attacks Initially much applauded for his groundbreaking peace initiative, President Pastrana is now considered a weak leader by many Colombians - one who gave the FARC everything they wanted in exchange for a peace process that came to nothing Now days more than 95% of Colombians now describe the rebels as kidnappers, murderers and drug traffickers and not freedom fighters.
