I see this as a good thing. Crimes by the police and the government should not be swept under the rug. Thankfully the people in Colombia voted down Uribes proposal that would grant rebels and paramilitary fighters amnesty for massacres.

I thought Uribe was going to be a savior against the "war on terrorism" in Colombia?

That's how the spanish speaking media portrays him here in the states...
