So Alvaro Uribe’s cousin just got arrested “for his suspected ties to paramilitary squads.” He is, of course “one of President Alvaro Uribe's most intimate allies,” since the two co-founded their stupid political party together 20 years ago. "Mario" Uribe now joins the more than 30 other intimate allies of the America’s favorite democrat currently rotting away in jail for their own ties to terrorism. And lest we forget: “Among those jailed in the scandal are Uribe's former chief of domestic intelligence, Jorge Noguera, who has been accused of giving the paramilitaries a "hit list" of labor and opposition leaders,” which is why we must give these assholes a trade deal today.
Update 9:15 p.m.: Mario sought asylum at the Costa Rican embassy in Bogotá tonight and was promptly rejected. San Jose "said police would force him to leave the embassy building if he refused to go."
