The Rescue of Ingrid Betancourt
I’m beyond thrilled by the rescue of former Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt from the FARC guerrilla group that held her hostage for more than six years. Not only were she and 14 other hostages saved, but the rescue operation was pure genius. Colombian commandos who infiltrated FARC simply convinced Cesar, the local rebel leader,…
