1. You know they're getting desperate when they start throwing their own death squad leaders under the
bus! Good lord. What is the world coming to?

"Macaco"

Where would that government BE without the death squads, after all!

Take this article on another former death squad leader, who has "confessed" and is serving a bit of time. Look how he's "doing time" in a Colombian prison:
He is being held in the maximum-security Itagui prison, outside Colombia's second city of Medellin, with some 50 militia bosses. Like many, he has an Internet-connected computer, cell phone, shared personal chef and extended visiting hours. Songbirds chirp outside.
Mancuso keeps busy running his own Web site, recently joined the Facebook online social-networking community and says he is writing a history of Colombia's recent conflict.
He is neither repentant nor apologetic about the blood shed in «the war we had to fight,» and complains of being demonized and marginalized by the very elites for whom he served as hatchetman. People he once served now deny knowing him, he said.
«Why don't they come out and admit it? Because they're afraid,» he said. «Afraid of what? That they'll be tried and thrown in jail.
