I am glad to see Americans speaking up about this injustice. This just shows that once informed, American citizens shows their ethics. Too bad that US media is controlled an Americans don't get real news.

What's more is that Reporters with out Borders is under now authority to comment on this case because they receive money from the National Endowment for "Democracy"--AKA--Americanism, and they keep insisting that there is no press freedom in Venezuela and have supported the racist RCTV when it carried out a Coup D Etat against Chavez. So Frenchie man! Clean your own house and Shut up!

For all you underheads who thought Ingrid Bentancourt suffered more than any prisoner on earth, well, I hope this Video will show clearly what happens when someone really is traumatized, and beatin, & Tortured. Betancourt was in great shape & loves being on the lime lights and camera and loves the celebraty status she is enjoying right now as a result of being "liberated" from the FARC, in reality she is still a "hostage" to Uribe and the US government.

Put Bush and Cheny on trial in an Intrnational Court for all the crimes they committed against muslims and without doubt there will be peace b/n Americans and Muslims after that.

Well if he was being released as being 'inoccent' why did he get dragged of the plane like an animal, if the prisioners are so looked after, why did he need an ambulance straight away? no charges bought to him?? what about the years he has lost? how can America do these things without having to release anything? American government, and you Bush, hope you rot in the Hell fire!

Things like this will produce 1000 more "so called terrorist" Just because some Muslims refuse to accept America's dominance and influence in their land "they are branded as terrorist". American government has no shame in their hypocrisy and contradictions, they openly bomb Al Jazerra in Afghanistan and Iraq, two coincidental accident? These people are nothing but scums of the earth, those who are in power in united states.
