What can be said? The evil that some people are capable of is beyond comprehension! There will be judgement for these people that can't be escaped, not to mention that what goes around will come around sooner than expected.

'The FARC, which took up arms in the 1960s, is holding hundreds of hostages for ransom and political leverage, including three American anti-drug contractors captured in 2003. But Betancourt's case has drawn the most attention.

Colombia's Roman Catholic Church called on the FARC on Friday to release her and all other kidnap victims, describing it as an issue of life or death.'

Pray for all concerned including the kidnappers as they will have to face God for the harm they are doing. I personally feel that no government should bargain with kidnappers because if they get away with this it would be extorsion and will only open the door to more of the same. Yes, there needs to be a tribunal set up to negotiate the problems but paying these thugs is wrong in my opinion.

I give theadvise to the ones who are holding this person in captivity that to be merciful due to the times we are livingmany things will be relieve to us. As you are merciful God will be merciful to you. Let her go home, she will need medical attention physical as well as emotional. Take me serious due to her condition indicate much attention. She need now to be free and you will be forgiving as you repent. The times we are living are with much evil and believe me there is not solution unless there is peace love and comprehension. The dignity of the human being must be put at first as is the imagen of God. thanks .
