Magic Laptop Places FARC Hostage Auction in Panama

FARC chicks are a lot cooler
than, say, Cindy McCain
Okay, so we all know this FARC miracle wonder laptop stuff is fake, propaganda from right-wing drug warriors. But in the wonderful world of spin and deceit, the right thing to do is release more from the same discredited source. Through Associated Press of course, the outlet of choice for this kind of "public diplomacy". Anyway, now they say Clinton was involved with Garcia Marquéz and the talks were to be held in PANAMA! This must have been such a lucrative time for the Colombian rebel group, with Chavez, Correa, Clinton and France all bidding on the prestigious release of hostages and of course trophy Ingrid Bethancourt. And imagine how Torrijos will pretend to have been at the center of it, just like he did with the Kumbaya meeting in Santo Domingo.
On the brighter side, it looks like we're getting the war after all, because the wingnuts won't be happy before they can nuke any peaceful solution to Colombia's conflict. The same shameless, unquestioning, jingoistic piece of crap who brought us the run up to the Iraq war is now spinning how Chavez is the FARC's Guardian Angel and Bush needs to "take him on". Next from the magic laptop: FARC wants to conquer the moon!
So Now About That Thumbnail

So they all went to Santa Domingo and sang Kumbaya together and now we're not going to have that war the wingnuts promised us. Time to look back and reflect on a week that shook Panama. This picture for example: Rafael Correa with his entourage visiting Torrijos and his entourage. Look at that guy on the left. That's Galo Mora Witt, Ecuador's Minister of Culture. See anything special about him? No, we don't mean the suit, or lack thereof. Look at his hands, after the jump!
