The Colombian government's bloodless rescue of the hostages Wednesday was the product of a perfectly executed ruse that depended on old-school spy games rather than high-tech gadgetry.
Agents spent months worming their way into the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, an insurgent force that has waged war on the Colombian state for 40 years, Gen. Freddy Padilla de Leon told CNN.
The agents gained the rebels' trust and rose to the top of FARC's leadership council as well as a team assigned to guard the hostages.

09 June 08 - 00:36What we are up against politically
I have worked on several politcal campaigns in my lifetime. Mostly volunteer work for offices as diverse as a local council seat all the way up to Presidental Politics.
There are many aspects to a political campaign from Fund Raising to Town Halls to Purchasing air time to simple press the flesh opportunities.
One aspect that is used in political campaigns is "GOTV" or Get Out The Vote.
Get Out the Vote (or GOTV) is a campaign aimed at increasing the voters to turn out for your candidate or party. It can be a very useful tool for a campaign to increase its chances.
When I first started in poltics was for a woman running for Congress in a congressional district that had not elected a Republican in 32 years. In fact the office had been held by father and son (The Molohans of West Virgina. This was in 1992 and Alan Molohan is still in office to this day)

In these times, the future of black America is at stake. I don't mean that figuratively. I mean that literally! President Bush will name at least two if not three Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
An awful lot is at stake in the naming of those Justices. George Herbert Walker Bush named Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. That set in motion a radical drift in the court's thinking. The drift, of course, was to the right. The drift was toward conservatism. The drift was anti-black and the drift was anti-women!

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden, who openly supports Iraq against the Western powers.
Despite repeated demands from Washington, the Taliban refused to hand over bin Laden after the August 7 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, demanding proof of his involvement in terrorist activities.
However, in recent weeks, both the United States and Britain have renewed their pressure on the Taliban to expel bin Laden.
Pakistan, a strong ally of the Taliban and one of only three countries to recognize the movement's control over Afghanistan, also has been asked by the United States to use its influence to have bin Laden expelled from Afghanistan.
"We have been asked, but we can't force the Taliban to do anything they don't want to do," ...
