A couple of parts deserve translation, perhaps to have a familiar (though
somehow late) note ring in the heads of our American cdes.:

"Self-defence forces in Colombia are growing to the 100%", as disclosed by a
recent report of the Ministery of Defense, "while guerrilla grows at a 40%,
which means, if the tendency remains, that within 5 years the self-defence
might outnumber the guerrilla". Payments range from 400 thousand to 8 million
Colombian pesos.

Paradoxically, today, at the second aniversary of the oficialization of the
peace process between the Government and FARC, the paramilitaries display their
highest historical growth.
> Los 'paras' vienen haciendo su ofensiva de reclutamiento, de manera
The 'paras'are doing their recruitment offensive in an open -and sometimes
compulsory- way in the areas where their presence has been strengthening:
Urabá, Casanare, the Meta area and Southern Bolívar. In other cases,
when they try to colonize other territories, such as Santander, they offer
up to 8 million pesos for commanders of front.
"The 'paras', unlike the guerrilla, offer money to recruit their militants,
and they don't receive under ages", a state officer of intelligence explains.
Now, my question: what were the original tactics developed in Viet Nam, before
the massive invasion?
Any ideas and collections? Didn't the Americans try to have Vietnamese fight
Vietnamese by similar ways? Weren't they defeated?
