Under former President Alvaro Uribe (2002-2010), Colombias US-backed security forces murdered more civilians than FARC guerrillas have in more than 30 years.
This is the most inconvenient truth Colombias electorate will have to accept once a Truth Commission and a Transitional Justice Court take force to seek impartial justice for the countrys 8 million victims.
The mass killing of civilians by the state is particularly inconvenient because Colombians will have to ask themselves how they got to elect and re-elect a president who, as commander-in-chief, ended up politically responsible for more than 40 times the homicides attributed to the countrys #1 terrorist, FARC leader Rodrigo Londoo, a.k.a. Timochenko, who is either accused of or convicted for 106 homicides.
This information has been available for years, but has been consistently ignored or distorted in both Colombian and American media.
