Non-Existent Colombian Paramilitaries Update

The Aguilas Negras (Black Eagles) paramilitaries. Neatly equipped, aren't they?
Where the devil did they get the cash for that little lot...........?

Now remember what you've been told, folks: The problem in Colombia is the nasty far left-wing FARC terrorists. The nasty far right-wing Paramilitaries do not exist, they are not a problem and they don't have anything to do with cocaine trafficking or anything. We know this because the "alleged" groups are sponsored by the Colombian gov't which is in turn sponsored by the US gov't.

Here's a story from today. Yet another illegal incurson into Ecuador from Colombia. This time it was 20 heavily armed paramilikos trying to search and destroy a woman in a disco on the Ecuador side of the border. This is an big story in Ecuador (Google has 57 reports and counting...here are a few listed) , but strangely...bizarrely...amazingly...I could only find one report of the event in the English media.

I wonder why?
