Interesting juxtaposition of ideas in the WSJ: FARC Uranium and Mexican Terrorists

There's an odd little throwaway remark in this WSJ editorial. It's about the extremely interesting topic of Colombia's attack on the FARC in Ecuador that netted a very revealing laptop. And in justifying the Colombian military's pursuit of the FARC terrorists across the border into Ecuador, the Journal offers this analogy:

(We doubt the U.S. would stop its troops at the border if terrorists were bombing sites in Texas from havens in Mexico.)

The notion of terrorists coming across the Mexican border is one the open-borders WSJ tries very hard not to discuss. I think it's a very apt example, and I wonder whether it's appropriate to extend it to border incursions by the Mexican military.

Oh, and speaking of terrorists and borders--Colombia found a FARC shopping list on the dead terrorist's laptop:

General Naranjo said the laptop also contains documents showing that the FARC was seeking to buy 50 kilos of uranium...

Hmm--Who were they looking to buy it from? And were they going to do some particle physics research? I know, maybe medical research...well, anyway, it's irrelevant: Colombia's a long way away, and nothing the FARC gets hold of could ever end up here:

...and the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo has reported that the records revealed the sale of 700 kilograms of cocaine valued at $1.5 million.

Excuse me, I'm gonna go build a bunker now.

P.S.: I'm going to wait until I hear more from American intelligence sources before I believe everything that they say is on that laptop. That said, none of it is at all outside the realm of possibility. The uranium is new, the rest tends to confirm assumptions I've been operating under for a while now.

P.P.S. Interesting how Turkey invades northern Iraq to root out the PKK and everyone pretty much just says "hey, whattaya gonna do?" I'm surprised Ecuador's President didn't have the decency to say "What? The FARC here in Ecuador? I'm shocked!, Shocked!" Instead he pretty much admits it and just gripes about sovereignty. News flash: FARC was violating Colombia's sovereignty first.

Update: Via Fox's slideshow (warning: pictures of dead people), it looks like it was a little hard to pretend that FARC encampment was a baby milk factory:
