A FARC'in' Mess

[T]hugo Chavez may have complained bitterly about the fact that Colombia took out a bunch of FARC terrorists and captured a treasure trove of intel along the way, and then stated that any information provided by Colombia was invented, but Interpol sees things a wee bit differently.

Interpol confirms what Colombia has been saying all along.

The information found in the computers of the deceased leader of the rebel Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC), Raúl Reyes, was not manipulated by Colombian authorities, according to an Interpol's report to be released next May 15, as disclosed by Bogota El Tiempo daily newspaper.

The report stated that a committee comprising computer science experts from Korea, Australia, and Singapore working for the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) completed last May 2 the investigation into the three computers found in Reyes' camp in Ecuador, Efe reported.

"The first finding was that Reyes' files were not manipulated and that security agencies and citizens who had the computer in their hands kept them safe," the Colombian newspaper stated.

Colombia has been blaming Venezuela for supporting the FARC terrorists, and the intel gleaned from those computers backed up their assertions.

It remains to be seen what Chavez will do in light of this. I expect him to complain that Interpol is out to get him and is simply another tool of the imperialist Americans to subjugate Venezuela or other such blathering.

UPDATE:
Gateway Pundit runs down a partial list of items found on those laptop computer files, and it's pretty damning:

-- FARC connections with Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa
-- Records of $300 million offerings from Hugo Chavez
-- Thank you notes from Hugo Chavez dating back to 1992
-- Uranium purchasing records
-- Admit to killing the sister of former President Cesar Gaviria
-- Admit to planting a 2003 car bomb killing 36 at a Bogota upper crust club
-- Directions on how to make a Dirty Bomb
-- Information that led to the discovery of 60 pounds of uranium
-- Letter to Libya's Moammar Gadhafi asking for cash to buy surface-to-air missiles
-- Meetings with "gringos" about Barack Obama
-- Information on Russian illegal arms dealer Viktor Bout who was later captured
-- FARC funding Correa's campaign
-- Cuban links to FARC
-- Links to US Democrats
-- $480,000 of FARC cash in Costa Rican safe house
-- $100,000 to President Correa's campaign for election

Still, we'd love to know who they purchased the uranium from; which US Democrats were involved, and who those gringos were with whom FARC discussed Barack Obama.
