Major international wire services, newspapers, and television networks had a presence in the country and generally ope ... [Read More]

I had the unfortunate opportunity to pay respects at a funeral while I was in Colombia of nine police officers, who, early last week, as some of you know, were killed in an ambush followed by a car bombing of those who attempted to rescue those who were ambushed in a town just outside of Cali. ...
