"only" four victims

In an amazing breakthrough for world democracy, Colombia's Center for Research and Popular Education (CINEP) reports that there have "only" been four deaths due to false positives in Colombia this year.

Yes that's right, folks. Whoop and cheer, because in 2009 only four innocent people were kidnapped by the country's armed forces, murdered in cold blood and then dressed as FARC terrorists by the state servants to make them look like victims of battles...so that the country's soldiers could reach their quota set by Uribe and company and get extra time off.

Your author's meek question: How can any number above zero be cause for celebration on something as jawdroppingly disgusting?

Here's an English language report on the issues, thanks to Colombia Reports.
