The article posted and linked by Louis was the most one-sided article
against the Farc I have come across yet, it even includes condemnation of
the Farc for executing Paramilitaries, forcing teenagers into the ranks, and
keeping sex-slaves of young women. To see this sort of article is a break
from the usual, and does not any longer counterpose itself to either
Columbian history for the last twenty years nor does it describe the
paramilitary actions of today.

And that is a significant jump in the line against the Farc. We should all
be more nervous when this appears in the "paper of record".
