Evo: No amnesty for terrorists

Delegates from Unasur have arrived in Pando, Bolivia, to investigate the massacre of the campesinos at Porvenir. Commission chief Rodolfo Mattarollo, from Argentina, has sought (and received) permission from Evo to meet with the former prefect of Pando, Leopoldo Fernández, currently in jail awaiting trial, and other arrestees as well. The commission will also interview dozens of witnesses. Evo will be putting at their disposal all tools, including forensic and ballistic information, so that they can conduct a thorough investigation.

Which stands to reason, since he called them in there in the first place. He knows he has nothing to hide, and that it’s important that a fact-finding mission be international–and transparent. It speaks to his courage and honorability, no?
