Obama and FARC: What's the link?

FARC's recent defeats and disarmament (heh) is raising a bunch of questions, and among them are questions about their relationship to Barack Obama. IBD lays out the questions he needs to be asked.

The interesting aspect of this to me is that this wasn't some lefty anthropologist grad student gushing to her FARC boyfriend about her Obamamania. This apparently was someone whose assurances the FARC took seriously enough to include in their leader's laptop. (IBD speculates on whether the last Congressional delegation through Colombia had anything to do with these promises.)

Tailwag to LGF.

Anti-FARC update, "So I married an axe murderer" edition.

Watching her take the pistol from her belt, unbutton her jeans and slip into bed I somehow couldn't quite equate the woman in my arms with the bodies I had seen in the local morgue, their heads shattered by gunshots at close range, murders she confessed to having committed. High on a combination of the heady tropical climate, local rum, grade A cocaine and in the arms of nubile 22-year-old, fantasy and reality became blurred. It felt like I was living in a Quentin Tarantino movie.
