Ex-hostage Betancourt: Tone down ‘hate’ speech
Some people never learn:
“Former hostage Ingrid Betancourt urged Colombia’s president and others in the South American nation Monday to tone down their “radical, extremist language of hate” toward the leftist rebels who held her captive for six years. Betancourt, a politician with dual French-Colombian citizenship who was released last week in a Colombian military operation, skirted questions about her own political future in the interview with French radio. She was campaigning for Colombia’s presidency when she was captured in 2002.
Noting the possibility that Colombian President Alvaro Uribe could seek a third presidential term, Betancourt said, “Why not?” She praised his efforts toward her release, but also sent him a warning. “Uribe, and not only Uribe but all of Colombia, should also correct some things,” she said. “We have reached the point where we must change the radical, extremist vocabulary of hate, of very strong words that intimately wound the human being.”
She is a Greenie and Greenies are usually extremely impractical so I guess this is not entirely a surprise. But I wonder exactly what she does want us to call kidnappers and murderers?

Can we give Ingrid Betancourt back?
She misses those nightly encounters with Carlos and Esteban…
Sounds like a “hate america blame america” whining liberal, but she evidentally is a “hate Columbia, blame Columbia” self loathing liberal that thinks everything is Columbia’s fault.
