Once the epic tale of rescuing Íngrid Betancourt and 14 others ran its course in the news cycle, there hasn't been much reported on the other 700+ hostages still in the hands of the FARC.
The Colombian Army is still out trying, and once in while there is a success.
Let's not allow this to disappear in amongst the distractions of the daily news.

On a related note, the GovColombia has issued a statement collaborated by the GovMexico on the growing ties between the FARC and the Mexican drug cartels.

Suggestions of a broader cooperation against the narco's... Could be a very good thing given the way some OAS members have chosen to go.
still more about 700...
thanks for the update-- I am sooo happy this man was released-
your article--FARC and Mexico- of course, this comes to me as no surprise- I am a bit surprised the candidates have not talked about border security as this to me is an important issue as it has to do with national security- as we well know FARC extends itself beyond just the borders here-
