El paredón del blog 2

¡Que vaina! me pareció tan oportuno, que no me pude resistir a transcribirlo tal cual lo encontré en el blog Aretino (Barranquilla), ahí va:
"El Presidente de la Corte Suprema de Justicia, quiere plantar papas en el jardín de su casa en la sabana de Bogotá, pero arar la tierra es un trabajo muy pesado para él. Su único hijo, está estudiando en Francia. Por tanto, el magistrado le manda un mail explicándole el problema: "Querido hijo: Me siento mal porque no voy a poder plantar mi jardín con papas este año. Estoy muy viejo para arar la tierra. Si tú estuvieras aquí, todos mis problemas desaparecerían. Sé que tú levantarías y removerías toda la tierra por mí. Te quiere papá". Pocos días después recibe un mail de su hijo:"Querido padre: Por todo lo que más quieras, no toques la tierra de ese jardín. Ahí es donde tengo escondido “aquello”. Te quiero mucho". A las 4 de la madrugada siguiente aparecen 15 agentes del DAS, un Coronel del Ejercito experto en falsos positivos, 20 soldados de la Brigada de Usaquén y representantes de la Casa de Nariño que remueven toda la tierra del jardín buscando materiales para construir bombas, email de Alfonso Cano, una memoria USB o lo que sea. No encuentran nada y se van. Ese mismo día, el Magistrado recibe otro mail de su hijo: "Querido padre: Seguramente rastrearon mi e-mail, por orden de tusabesquien, así que la tierra ya estará bien removida y lista para sembrar papas. Es lo mejor que pude hacer dadas las circunstancias. Cuídate"

U.S. INTELLIGENCE LISTED COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT URIBE AMONG "IMPORTANT

COLOMBIAN NARCO-TRAFFICKERS" IN 1991

Then-Senator "Dedicated to Collaboration with the Medellín Cartel at High Government Levels"


Confidential DIA Report Had Uribe Alongside Pablo Escobar,
Narco-Assassins Uribe "Worked for the Medellín Cartel" and
was a "Close Personal Friend of Pablo Escobar


Washington, D.C., 1 August 2004 - Then-Senator and now President Álvaro Uribe Vélez of Colombia was a "close personal friend of Pablo Escobar" who was "dedicated to collaboration with the Medellín [drug] cartel at high government levels," according to a 1991 intelligence report from U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) officials in Colombia. The document was posted today on the website of the National Security Archive, a non-governmental research group based at George Washington University.Uribe's inclusion on the list raises new questions about allegations that surfaced during Colombia's 2002 presidential campaign.

Candidate Uribe bristled and abruptly terminated an interview in March 2002 when asked by Newsweek reporter Joseph Contreras about his alleged ties to Escobar and his associations with others involved in the drug trade. Uribe accused Contreras of trying to smear his reputation, saying that, "as a politician, I have been honorable and accountable." The newly-declassified report, dated 23 September 1991, is a numbered list of "the more important Colombian narco-traffickers contracted by the Colombian narcotic cartels for security, transportation, distribution, collection and enforcement of narcotics operations."

The document was released by DIA in May 2004 in response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by the Archive in August 2000. The source of the report was removed by DIA censors, but the detailed, investigative nature of the report -- the list corresponds with a numbered set of photographs that were apparently provided with the original -- suggests it was probably obtained from Colombian or U.S. counternarcotics personnel. The document notes that some of the information in the report was verified "via interfaces with other agencies." President Uribe -- now a key U.S. partner in the drug war -- "was linked to a business involved in narcotics activities in the United States" and "has worked for the Medellín cartel," the narcotics trafficking organization led by Escobar until he was killed by Colombian government forces in 1993.

The report adds that Uribe participated in Escobar's parliamentary campaign and that as senator he had "attacked all forms of the extradition treaty" with the U.S. "Because both the source of the report and the reporting officer's comments section were not declassified, we cannot be sure how the DIA judged the accuracy of this information," said Michael Evans, director of the Archive's Colombia Documentation Project, "but we do know that intelligence officials believed the document was serious and important enough to pass on to analysts in Washington."

In a statement issued on July 30, the Colombian government took exception to several items reported in the document, saying that Uribe has never had any foreign business dealings, that his father was killed while fleeing a kidnap attempt by FARC guerrillas, and that he had not opposed the extradition treaty, but merely hoped to postpone a referendum to prevent the possibility that narcotraffickers would influence the vote.

The communiqué, however, did not deny the most significant allegation reported in the document: that Uribe had a close personal relationship with Pablo Escobar and business dealings with the Medellín Cartel. The document is marked "CONFIDENTIAL NOFORN WNINTEL," indicating that its disclosure could reasonably be expected to damage national security, that its content was based on intelligence sources and methods, and that it should not be shared with foreign nationals.

Uribe, the 82nd name on the list, appears on the same page as Escobar and Fidel Castaño, who went on to form the country's major paramilitary army, a State Department-designated terrorist group now engaged in peace negotiations with the Uribe government. Written in March 1991 while Escobar was still a fugitive, the report was forwarded to Washington several months after his surrender to Colombian authorities in June 1991.

Most of those on the list are well-known drug traffickers or assassins associated with the Medellín cartel. Others listed include ex-president of Panama Manuel Noriega, Iran-contra arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, and Carlos Vives, a Colombian entertainer said to be connected to the narcotics business through his uncle.For more information contact Michael Evans - 202/994-7000
