As we get closer to war in Colombia, Pastrana grants a three day respite. Meanwhile, other sources confirm that tanks and soldiers are staging in the area. AR ran a story earlier emphatically stating that Green Berets, though close to hot zones, were not doing any fighting. Yeah, sure. Maybe better rating if it starts over the weekend, or less oversight. This from AFP. MCR Wednesday, January 31 9:23 PM SGT Colombia's Pastrana prolongs agreement on FARC-controlled zone BOGOTA, Jan 31 (AFP) - Colombia's President Andres Pastrana said the 1998 agreement ceding a demilitarized zone to control by leftist FARC guerrillas would continue in operation until "the end of this week." Speaking in a televised address to the nation, Pastrana said he had decided on the extension "with the sole purpose of holding the meeting which I have proposed with Manuel Marulanda," leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
