Colombian officials discovered a FARC laptop which they claim contains evidence that the rebels wanted to obtain radioactive material to make a so-called dirty bomb, and that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez channeled $300 million to support the FARC.

Both Venezuela and Ecuador sent troops to the Colombian border in protest, and today, Venezuela mobilized naval, air and armored units. President Chavez called Colombia the Israel of Latin America while Ecuador and Venezuela demanded that the Organization of American States condemn the cross-border raid. The OAS stopped short of condemnation, however, and did say that Colombia violated international law. President Bush said the U.S. stands by its ally, Colombia.

and what exactly happened over the weekend?
Well, as you said, over the weekend, late over Saturday night, I believe, the Colombian government obtained, I guess, actionable intelligence which allowed them to pinpoint the exact location on the very northern border with Ecuador of a FARC encampment where Raul Reyes the number two in command was located. And they sent a helicopter, dropped some soldiers on the ground, followed up very rapidly with air strikes and, as you said, killed 20 people include Reyes and confiscated this laptop.

and was it widely known that the farc had refuges, safe places to operate from inside ecuadorian territory?
Absolutely. The FARC has for probably decades but at least for the last eight to 10 years used the northern part of Ecuador for its rear guard; the FARC's presence there helps sustain villages, rest and relaxation, and basically a rear guard area for their troops, so this is a longstanding presence. The Ecuadorian governments in the past have said that - and probably in the present - that their northern border is with the FARC not with Colombia, so it's a longstanding presence.

There's also this - you mentioned the laptop which contained a lot of information including, if you believe it, a longstanding relationship with the FARC and Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela.

Well, I don't know why we wouldn't believe it. Of course, the details of the nature of that relationship are hard to ascertain just on the basis of the transcriptions the Colombian government has given to the public. But the FARC and Hugo Chavez do have a relationship that goes back to early in this century - I don't know, about earlier. And of course, Hugo Chavez had been engaged in negotiating with the FARC to get some Colombian hostages released. We know about that relationship but this seems to be a relationship that is deeper, that has financial and other security connotations, the ideological sympathies are articulated by both the Venezuelans and the FARC, so the relationship is not in doubt. It's just its nature that we're starting to see now.

And with that first prisoner exchange which was - what - just a couple of - three weeks ago, there was open support calling on European and the United Nations to drop the FARC as a terrorist organization and say there was a legitimate organization.

Neal, in my view, that's the really and crucial turning point in this episode when Chavez comes out and says that the FARC should come off of the terrorist list kept in Europe and by the United States which has been supported by both Democrats and Republicans and pretty much across the globe by U.S. allies to see the FARC as terrorists.

That was a real turning point because there looks as though Hugo Chavez is trying to get the FARC to have legitimate status as a belligerent group which under international law would give it a different kind of status. And that really is a turning point and as what makes plausible some of the allegations that the Colombian government is now putting out there on the basis of what's in that laptop.

Today, there are more than a million books on Book Search - histories, biographies, novels, even textbooks. But Smith says unlike "Moby Dick", most of the books on Book Search are still under copyright, which means the company can only show a portion of them. That hasn't stopped the Author's Guild and a major publisher's group from suing Google for copyright infringement. But even as these suits have winded their way through the courts, Google has been reaching out to individual publishers.

I can see that when somebody comes from Google Book Search, they are more likely to buy that book than someone who'd came through just Google or MSN. But is that a sale that's living from some place else? I don't really know. It's hard to say it's already incremental.

In 1905, representatives of 43 labor groups came together in Chicago to form one big union - the Industrial Workers of the World, known as the Wobblies. The union was a big presence in the labor movement, leading strikes, walkouts and rallies across the nation. And everywhere its members went, they sang.

Well, you know, the Colombian government has not done a good job in its regional diplomacy. It has tethered itself very closely to the United States, and as the relationship with the United States and Venezuela has worsen for lots of reasons over the last several years, Colombia has - and as, of course, we've seen governments in Ecuador, for example, in Bolivia become a lot closer to Chavez. Colombia has become isolated as compared to the past within the Andean region.

And that in addition to expecting the United States to protect it, I believe, at all cost has put itself in a very awkward position within the entire hemisphere, a hemisphere which, of course, as you know, is historically sensitive about incursions into sovereignty but, of course, the Ecuadorians, in this case, and Venezuela for many, many years because of the porous borders have had these rebel terrorists, drug trafficking groups incurring into their sovereignty for a very long time.

Mm-hmm. The Secretary of Defense Robert Gates was asked about this situation earlier today and said the, well, the United States does support its ally, Colombia, but asked if the United States would act to support Colombia in the event of a military confrontation breaking out, he said, first of all, he thought that was very unlikely and that further, Colombia could take care of itself.

Well, if you look at the numbers, the Colombian Armed Forces are much larger in terms of boots on the ground capacity than the Venezuelans and also in terms of military capacity, I think. Is it likely? I have no idea because I don't think any of us know what Chavez's intentions are nor what the consequences, unintended perhaps, of putting that much military hardware and personnel on the border as he is doing. I hope it doesn't but we don't know.

And on the second point, can Colombia take care of itself? Also very, very hard to say. I think that there is a lot of pressure on Colombia right now, publicly and privately from other countries in the hemisphere that have more influence than the United States does regionally to resist the temptation to be provoked by Venezuela.

My comments were that - I was actually born in Colombia and moved here when I was about four years old. And I'm 42 now, and have been going back and forth, frequently to visit. My parents are there right now. And I have to say that for the first time in all these years, there's actually sense of pride, of progress, of decreased violence, and security in Colombia; and most of the Colombians that I speak to attribute that to the leadership of the current president, President Uribe.

And also wanted to note that about a month ago, there were worldwide peaceful demonstrations against the FARC because, frankly, I think Colombians are just fed up with years of this war that's just, frankly, terrorizes the whole country.

And I wonder, Julia Sweig, how do you think that this situation is going to affect popular support for both the FARC and for President Uribe in Colombia?

and i wonder, julia sweig, how do you think that this situation is going to affect popular support for both the farc and for president uribe in colombia?
Well, I was just in Colombia two weeks ago and not only my presence, my visit there but just generally I would say there is no popular support for the FARC. And I think that this will boost or probably already has boosted Uribe's standing but the fact that he goes and takes the risk of going in and whacking the number two in this armed insurgency that as you say has kept hostage and been brutal to its hostages for many years - that will enhance his standing.

The FARC has no popularity, the problem in Colombia. And as in all of the countries of the Andean region, is that historically, there has been no social contract, no institutions to withstand the temptations and the violence and the illegality of the drug trade.
the farc has no popularity the problem in colombia and as in all. of the countries of the andean region is that historically. there has been no social contract no institutions to withstand the temptations and the violence and the illegality of the drug

And so what we're seeing is the kind of - I could see why Gates would say Colombia could take care of itself - it's now gotten much stronger armed forces. But that doesn't mean that the sources of the violence that support the FARC, that support the paramilitaries have disappeared, but the caller's comment about the sense of progress is real and I think this will reinforce it.

Yes, there is. What we've learned, we've learned only through the Colombian government but the recovery of the laptop has led to some pretty extraordinary accusations that the Venezuelan government under Chavez, President Hugo Chavez has formed a, quote/unquote, "armed alliance" with the FARC rebels in Colombia. In other words, that Venezuela is actively supporting a movement to topple the Colombian government.

Yes, but as I recall from what I saw of this communications in - by January or February, there was still some question as to whether or not the money was coming. And the dirty bomb plot is probably the most vague of all the allegations, so far. Again, that was released by Vice President Francisco Santos, and he gives no indication even what country the FARC may have been trying to obtain the radioactive material from. But obviously if any of it proves to be true, it's a very, very significant turn of events in the region and an extremely negative development for the FARC which has suffered a series of political and military setbacks in recent months.
