Three Americans freed amongst others. Without a shot, and Che t-shirts as disguises.

The FARC is a shadow of what it used to be.

Three of those guys work for Northrop Grumman (a company I do business with in Baltimore). They'll be partying big-time up there. Very fitting that it went down this close to Independence Day.

I saw something about this late last night on cnn. Had to read about it this morning to see what the heck was going on. Good news.

Cue Hugo Chavez saying that tricking the FARC was a war crime, especially that poor FARC commander being bound and blindfolded.
