- KnightWhoSaysNi, on 07/09/2008, -5/+39It's Colombian not Columbian dammit!
- benologist, on 07/09/2008, -3/+33The entire hostage rescue is a viral marketing campaign for the movie!!!
- slythic, on 07/09/2008, -3/+17I'm so tired of people mixing up with Colombia with Columbia... get it right once and for all.
- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -2/+16The don't even need a writer, just interview the real-life people involved in the rescue. For those who followed the rescue it was sensational.
- Scopitone, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8A hostage rescue behind enemy lines without a single shot fired. Action packed!
- Irco, on 07/09/2008, -1/+7is one of those things that annoys the hell out of me. The sad thing is that even in the TITLE of the article it clearly says COLOMBIA
- sebby2022, on 07/09/2008, -1/+7***** Hollywood.
- Bartboy919, on 07/09/2008, -0/+5Is this just me? Or does the coverage of this event seem overblown.
- callinthelaw69, on 07/09/2008, -0/+4Wow...that's kinda despicable...
- jer105, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3I agree. Columbia is a jacket and a city in South Carolina. COLOMBIA is a country. I'm in Bogota right now and it annoys me also. I was there when the 3 Americans got on the C-17 for Texas...it was quite a sight to see. Glad they made it back ok.
- doctorinfierno, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3Right on man: get the name right people.
- Shaman760, on 07/09/2008, -7/+10Do they show the part where the USA gives the FARC leader 20 million dollars?
http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/editorblog/102 - Chainheart, on 07/09/2008, -3/+6Digg is mostly liberal, FARC is Marxist... slippery slope
- SuperMoses, on 07/09/2008, -2/+5Wow, they really want to push that Colombian free trade agreement through. It was being stalled partly because of several charges agaisnt Uribe. Such as connections to the right wing death squads, bribing members of parliament to vote in favour of the referendum that allowed him to be re-elected, the 1997 massacre, and connections and aiding drug lords in the 90s revealed in US' own intelligence under the National Security Archives. But since now he's a US ally, they want to wipe the slate clean. People hear about FARC, but how many hear about the right wing paramilitaries that account for much more deaths than FARC? The positive propaganda for Colombia is disgusting.
- hurricanewane, on 07/09/2008, -1/+4Noone gets shot, killed, raped, murdered or anally probed...boring...so what are we going to watch, some people sitting around a campfire for 4 years?
Spoiler alert!!!
They get rescued at the end in a safe and non-action packed sequence. - john010117, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3Then it'll be a documentary.
- norris, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3I would hesitate to still call the FARC marxist. They have compromised any ideals they once had by planting landmines; using mortars; intimidating, displacing, and killing civilians; and recruiting child soldiers.
If your a communist group and the people are terrified of you, you are doing it wrong. - inactive, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3Or Columbia missouri
- doctorinfierno, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2I guess there was an ideology back in the 60s when FARC started, right now those ideales are long gone. I've worked with victims of the armed conflict in Colombia for a couple of years and what tend to hear about the guerrillas is a total disregard for the humanity of others, and money making business fueled by blood and drug traffic.
- nuclearmeatloaf, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Must you?
- Chainheart, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Digg is super liberal socially, but economically I would say confidently it is moderate/sometimes libertarian. I have rarely seen Marxists posting here, and if you believe otherwise, I'd like you to make your case better... because the claim to me now stands as quite paranoid/absurd
- Hrodrik, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2It has to be quick, so people still know what it is about and buy the product. In 3 years this will be mainly forgotten.
- indubitably, on 07/09/2008, -2/+4maybe the poster thought it was in Columbia, Maryland?
- norris, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Wow... the right wingers are out in force tonight. The Beaver Lick Kentucky Gun Club meeting must have been rained out.
- govsucks, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2My wife is from Colombia and the only people who have ever threatened her family are the pathetic communist FARC. They kidnapped her little brother when he was 14 years old and forced him to shoot at his own people under threat of death. It took him 4 years to escape and to this day he still fears for his life. So you can take your "right wing death squads" and shove them up your ass, then promptly go climb up the ass of Hugo Chavez where you can stay warm and safe from us evil individuals.
Pathetic ***** collectivist, if I didn't hate commies so bad I would feel bad for them, after all, they are only cows. - govsucks, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3Nothing makes me smile more than a bunch of collectivist ***** getting PWN3D!
- neekolas, on 07/09/2008, -4/+6For ***** sake.
It's COLOMBIA!!!!
I hate how often people misspell my country.... - istarbel, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3Why is it so hard do your research correctly and spell the damn country's name correctly?
- norris, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Shh... your ruining the effect.
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Yay! I hope it's as accurate as the Jessica Lynch Story.
- SkepticVoice, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2Note - Marxism has NOTHING to do with taking hostages, working with drug lords, and killing civilians. So saying they're marxists is as relevant as saying North Korea calls themselves democratic. It's just guilty by association and continuing to feed the propaganda against marxism as some sort of evil philosophy.
- SuperMoses, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2Of course they're involved with the cocaine trade, moreso than FARC.
- istarbel, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2or British Columbia
- unkyduck, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2Hmmm... US backed government secret service outsmarts rebels and recover long-held hostages through guile and precision executed plan, perfectly timed to support government needs. Or they paid $20M, and the rebels cooperated. The simplest answer is usually the correct answer.
I cannot see the Swiss being in cahoots with FARC.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_displa ... - xeren, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1You know the rescue scene is going to be re-scripted to be a giant shoot-out with nuclear explosions, attack choppers and dogs. and bees. Or dogs with bees in their mouths, and when they bark they shoot bees at you
- elarson, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2The twists, the turns. This is going to be one fantastic movie.
- oldhick, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2Yeah, that was speculated... But you may want to wait until some more sources verify the claim before you run with it.
- subcomandante, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Lol. Night at the Roxbury!
- Pinkertinkle, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2Oh I saw his one already. It starred Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe and had a nice firefight ending.
- Bartboy919, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Its one thing to come at me like im a Paul bot, but its completely another thing if you come at me like im a Paul bot AND have a name that is a little to similar to mine.
- Shaman760, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1I was just in Bogota. I love your country. Colombiana and beer, baby!
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1This had NOTHING to do with the secret service of the US. If the US paid 20 million and the rebels cooperated,why did the rebels get overpowered and arrested when they boarded the helicopter? Your logic makes no sense and the US has had a a policy of not paying terrorists since the Barbary Pirate Days pre war of 1812.
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1Just more left wing wacko bulls ht form a guy who gets his information form a left wing anti government blog and believes it to be factual. Pretty ***** sad!
- solid12345, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1It is UNITED STATES, not Estados Unidos dammit!
- cycs2510, on 07/09/2008, -0/+0good
- bruin8uclap, on 07/09/2008, -0/+0Delta Force 5: Colombian Rescue. Chuck Norris goes in posing as a reporter from CNN. Then when he gets in close enough he proclaims, "This is how we conduct interviews at Chuck Norris Network bitch!" bang chop bang chop...
- lyonlamb, on 07/09/2008, -2/+2COLOMBIA, not Columbia.
