"the 2 men and pensioner have been held for 2 years in a Colombian jail"

Does one cease to be a man on becoming a pensioner?

Of course they're guilty

if they had been in the middle of AUC territory then it would have been different, or if they had been picked up in the middle of CIA/plan Colombia territory, (oh they were- ooops), or if they had been picked up in downtown Bogota, it would have been different...
Colombia is different full stop.
Bring them home to chastise or greet them, but bring them home and thus hopefully some day through the added interest and application of norms of human rights and justice, some day all the little colombians will maybe enjoy those rights you used to take for granted in Ireland.

what were they doing there?

Pat C's opinions and comments should be ignored, as he supports the murder of innocent civilians.

Send them down

why did gerry adams deny all knowledge of these "observers" as soon as they surfaced.


Also has anyone notice how FARC have increased car bomb and urban attacks, a once noted tactic of the bold IRA.
Coalescing with the FARC is serious and they should pay.

shes right you know
