Amenaza a libre prensa y caso FARC preocupan a EUA: http://www.laprensagrafica.com/nacion/1086984.asp

EEUU asegura que un gobierno que tenga relación con las FARC es problemático

this is a section from the Upsidedownworld link:

“In El Salvador, he expressed concern over supposed ties between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrillas and the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), the former insurgent group that is now the main opposition party in El Salvador and which stands a good chance of winning the presidential elections in 2009, as indicated by opinion polls.

Negroponte based that assertion, made in statements to the local press, on the laptops seized by the Colombian military at the FARC rebel camp that was bombed by Colombia on March 1 in Ecuador.

FMLN spokesman Deputy Sigfrido Reyes refuted Negroponte's allegation, which he said was part of a "dirty war strategy" spurred by the governing rightwing Nationalist Republican Alliance's (ARENA) fears of losing the 2009 elections.

The laptops that reportedly belonged to the FARC have also been used by the Colombian and U.S. governments to accuse leftwing presidents Hugo Chávez of Venezuela and Rafael Correa of Ecuador of links to the Colombian insurgents.
