As a Colombian who remembers how things were nine years ago (I was sixteen and just starting college)[1], I have to admit that the thing I found most shocking was that he wasn't just kidnapped by the rebels. That non-sequitur of mine aside, good story. [1]: Although that's for the publication of the article; the events described happened before then. But that's even more understandable as the closer one gets to the nineties (and the actual nineties), the worse the painting of Colombia is.
