Cables U.S. have recently been revealed by Wikileaks desparcebidos at the national level, either because the viewer and week, Wikileaks partners in Colombia, not been published yet, or if they did, did not give importance to shocking revelations that are making the pilgrimage officials and military commanders at the Embassy of God Empire.
One of these cables, revealed on April 29, 2011 and recorded conversations classified SECRET between the ambassador and the general Padilla gringo on issues related to the FARC hostages, Palanquero based, regional relations and human rights. Here the original cable for those interested in reading it in its entirety .
This meeting accountability, the general Padilla informed Ambassador Brownfield on the Uribe government's intention to support humanitarian efforts of the Government of France, Spain and France to seek release of Ingrid Betancourt, but expressed reservations about the success of the operation. Padilla stressed that the Uribe government opposed Venezuelan helicopters to the use of or participation by the Chávez government in this operation.
The cable registers itself Padilla's report on the actions of the Colombian government to free the three gringo mercenaries. In this regard, Padilla tells the ambassador that the Colombian army is making every effort to locate the site where the hostages and that once located, will inform the U.S. government to coordinate a joint rescue operation.
So far nothing that has not been known earlier, saving obviously the fact of how high officials not only Uribe but also high-ranking military and police paraded through the embassy to submit reports as working for them!
Accountability becomes unusual, to say the least, when notified Padilla Ambassador Uribe's desire to expedite the installation of an agreement of cooperation in security center at the base Palanquero agreement is expected to materialize in 2008. What is revealing is that besides the desire to return per se base Palanquero gringo operations center, the Uribe government wanted to use the announcement the signing of this agreement as a strategy of provocation against the governments of Venezuela and Ecuador. Padilla goes so far as to confess to the ambassador that while Uribe publicly mentioned that this is their main purpose, in the end that's what I sought, that is, to provoke and harass Chavez and Correa.
Continuing the theme of relations with Venezuela and Ecuador, Padilla will ambassador expressed his satisfaction with the "dust" that raised recent incidents on the borders with Venezuela and Ecuador. Padilla assessment of these incidents is that Venezuela's armed forces are weaker what he believed and that of Ecuador, despite being smaller are more professional. The war games that tells the ambassador padilla take him to reiterate the need to continue to share intelligence with the U.S. aimed to monitor the governments of Chavez and Correa. The ambassador, of course reiterates its support but reminds you that both Colombia and the U.S. would benefit if the exchange of intelligence is kept secret.
The cable ends with Padilla's statements and requests even more surprising. With regard to the situation of human rights violation and corruption within the Armed forces, Padilla promises to remove from office those who are believed to have been involved in criminal activities or human rights violation and have not even enough evidence to prosecute them criminally. So far everything seems normal as it seems that Padilla would like to express to the Ambassador that there will be zero tolerance for criminal acts and violation of human rights within the military. But the ambassador's satisfaction did not last long because immediately afterwards heard the most unusual request. Padilla asked the ambassador that if the U.S. government could help to identify those individuals. (ie, Padilla, or you want to entice with promises chimbas ambassador, or makes that the army lacks the capacity to identify its own rotten paws) . The ambassador replied that he shares their concerns but that his government will not interfere in internal legal process, not decimate the ability and responsibility of the Colombian institutions themselves be monitored.
Comments: first of all that a general of the Republic of Colombia asked the ambassador to help identify criminals who are within the Armed Forces is a become so embarrassing and shameful for the country that should be of general odium. And it is shameful even against the government itself because the unusual request gringo totally contradicts the expressed desire and commitment to punish those responsible immediately expressed before making such an unusual request. There is no doubt that in front of the ambassador, Padilla was unfit as a fake, a concept that has subtly expressed Ambassador in other diplomatic cables referred to General Naranjo as the one in whom the government of his country can trust.
Second, given the sinister nature of relations between the U.S. and Colombia and in particular the response of the ambassador, it is not difficult to imagine what it was thinking by the mind of the ambassador at the end of the meeting and failed to register on the cable as it has done previously under the section "my comments". Well, words fewer words, your thoughts on the meeting transcripts should not be: "the kneeling, submission and servility of the Colombian state for my government (this time in a general of the republic), is reaching a pathos becomes so extreme that even worrying for us, as the good sense (propaganda) that we have given to the international community about the excellent and balanced relations with Colombia could be at risk of being seen as it really is, ie a relationship between master and subject, servile client empire, instead of the adjective "one of our best allies" that we always refer publicly. "
And finally, the most reprehensible of these generals who kneel and crawl before the gringo government is that they are considered heroes of the fatherland, who also when they leave the country they must pay tributes tributes and patriotic sacrifice both to "protect" the lives of Colombians. Even when withdrawn amid corruption scandals and crimes against humanity are rewarded (or silenced) with senior diplomats.
