Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active

Chávez earlier this week called upon the FARC to abandon the tactic of kidnapping, calling it a "mistaken policy" (política equivocada). The comment came after Chávez shared the Jan. 10 edition of his radio talk show "Aló Presidente!" with one of the freed hostages, former Colombian lawmaker Consuelo González. During the broadcast, González said she would try to make the FARC "understand that in a revolutionary struggle, which must have man as its central purpose, acts such as kidnapping are not committed, because they are an attack against human dignity and against any possibility of instating democracy..."

The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.
