Dirty War - The Colombian secret service created a network in Spain to spy on opponents of Uribe http://iglesiadescalza.blogspot.com/2011/06/colombian-secret-service-created.html

What first drew my attention to this story was the laundry list of international figures also targeted for surveillance should they enter Colombia. It includes such prominent figures in liberation theology as Leonardo Boff, François Houtart, Juan José Tamayo, the late bishop of Chiapas Samuel Ruiz, and the late Spanish theologian José María Díez Alegría.

But what made me truly sit up was the revelation that the Colombian DAS waged a disinformation campaign against Colombian NGOs in Spain, alleging that they were working with the guerrilla movements in order to get at their funding sources. I immediately thought of an article that appeared in a local Hispanic paper, El Comercio, in July 2008 in which a prominent local Colombian American made similar allegations about NGOs in DC. Although I was uncomfortable with the allegations, I thought it was just a case of anger leading to imprudent speech...

[WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MENTIONED IS THAT FOR MANY YEARS US GOVERNMENT FINANCED AND FUNDED THE DAS,ON AND OFF SCANDAL AFTER SNACDAL,SOMETIEMS STOPPING FUNDS AFTER A SCANDAL,THEN SHORTLY AFTER CONTINUING THE FUNDING...THATS THE BIGGETS SCANDAL BARELY EVER MENTIONED...ALSO SEE...
