Uh, yeah, right. Just because the lamestream media had Chavecito’s hostage-rescue mission all written off, doesn’t mean it was actually called off. It was only postponed, and today, we have big news on that front:
Chavecito announced that the FARC have given him co-ordinates to go and pick up the two promised hostages, Clara Rojas and Consuelo Gonzalez.
Let’s hope that this time it comes off without a sudden “discovery” of another Emmanuel where he wasn’t supposed to be.
Update: Looks like I scooped Yahoo and the AP on this one; they just reported it “1 hour and 27 minutes ago”. (NB: It is now 12:06 am on Thursday morning.) Ha! Beat that, ye wire services…
