Uribe told Mexico's Televisa network that the students were seen in a video with the guerrillas, indicating they were in league with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.
"They were not doing humanitarian work. They were not hostages. So why were they there?" Uribe said. "They were there as accomplices of this activity. They were there as agents of terrorism."
President Uribe defended Colombia from enemies who killed his people. Damn straight he shouldn't apologize. And just because four idiot college students besotted by some Che Guevara fantasy paid for their stupidity with their lives should not change that assessment. Being enrolled in college is no magical shield for escaping the consequences of helping a terrorist drug-smuggling organization.
But hey, now they're just like Che--dead in some stinking jungle camp. You all get "A"s, you morons. Maybe American college students will put your faces on t-shirts. Woo hoo!
