Thanks to Hugo Chavez (don’t you hate when he does something right?), four Colombian hostages held by the FARC for 6 years are set to be released. According to news reports this morning, Venezuelan helicopters are set to go deep into the Colombian jungle to get Senator Jorge Eduardo Gechem, Congresswoman Gloria Polanco de Losada, Lawmakers Orlando Beltran Cuellar and Luis Eladio Perez. One of the hostages is said to be in grave health. Colombia is said to be cooperating, by stopping military maneuvers in the release area.

No – I don’t “hate” when Chavez does something right. Next time don’t rush to jump on the band-wagon of Chavez-haters. Como decia Fidel, “La historia me absolvera”.
