Why they've walked away speaks volumes. A Tarija thug was arrested yesterday for being the ringleader in last month's attack on the local gas pipeline installations (remember all that about Brazil's supply getting cut off? Yeah, that's the one). The dude, named José Vaca, admitted being involved in the attack and was arrested in proper style by police. This prompted the prefect of Tarija, Mario Cossio, to accuse his democratically elected national gov't of "hunting" and "kidnapping" civilians. Aren't these guys beautiful, eh? This is regional-sponsored terrorism, no bones about it. So Evo's gov't shows major restraint yet again, points out that the arrest of José Vaca was on strict orders of the Fiscal General (i.e. head honcho of judiciary and not connected to the gov't), and asks the fascist scum to come back to the negotiation table.
There comes a point when patience will run out. This is not a question of state terrorism or gov't sponsored clandestine operations (that's the USA's speciality in the region, not Evo's). This is simple rule of law. You attack a gov't owned gas installation and block supply? You get arrested. Normal. These separatist shits seem to forget that nobody supports them outside of their tiny bastions.
