I am surprised to not find any discussion on Narco News or in the narcosphere on Jamundi.  

I came across this story on what is one of my most trusted news source's webpages, The Christian Science Monitor.  

Here is the link:

The war on drugs: Ambushed in Jamundí

from the September 27, 2006 edition

Why the massacre of an elite US-trained Colombian police team prompted Congress to freeze drug-war funding.

Page 1 of 3

By Danna Harman | Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor

The obligatory hook:

"...

This is a story of those policemen - of the members of Colombia's military that killed them - and of the narcotraffickers that, according to Colombia's attorney general, ordered the hit.

The investigation of the Jamundí massacre to date suggests the reach that Colombia's drug lords maintain today, and has shaken officials in Washington and Bogotá. The US Congress has temporarily frozen funding for Plan Colombia, the $4.7 billion effort to stop the illicit drug trade - and a chorus of disappointed and angry voices in both capitals is demanding an honest evaluation of the US' most expensive foreign aid program outside of the Middle East, six years after it set out to win the war on drugs.

I had hoped to find significant discussion of this event, but now I hope this link is of use to you.

I am not sure if this person has been discussed here but I thought it interesting enough to post and let y'all run with it.  

The Rev. Sun Myung Moon should be fairly famous to most people.  Here is the Wikipedia file on him (although the neutrality of the article is "disputed" through the wikipedia system): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Myung_Moon

Exerpt:

"After the end of the Japanese occupation of Korea, Moon personally suffered the brutal excesses of North Korean communism and he found a fellow opponent of Communism in Ronald Reagan. Moon spent a billion dollars of church funds to support the conservative, influential Washington Times, which in 2002 he called "the instrument in spreading the truth about God to the world." And decades after Congressional scrutiny and a prison term for tax fraud, his generosity to the New Right (including opening an account for the "Contra" part of the Iran-Contra equation) has earned him a world of deference from his former enemies."

The main part of this post is below from a pretty famous webblog.  So what do you think?
