ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Colombia rebels lay down law in demilitarized zone http://cnn.com/WORLD/americas/9811/08/RB000714.reut.html "The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) -- the largest guerrilla force in the hemisphere -- effectively took control of five municipalities straddling Caqueta and Meta provinces -- an area the size ofSwitzerland -- from Saturday." "and while revolutionary justice may seem unduly harsh to many, the government admits that 95 percent of all crimes committed in Colombia go unpunished by regular courts." "The guerrillas are putting certain laws into force, but that's no different from anywhere else where they have a presence," one restaurant owner in San Vicente, the largest of five towns in the demilitarized zone, said. "We can still go out and drink and party. We're not hiding behind closed doors." ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
