Colombia extradited one of the country's most feared paramilitary warlords to the United States early Wednesday to face drug trafficking charges, the government said.
Carlos Mario Jimenez was flown to Washington, D.C., via Miami on a Drug Enforcement Administration plane, according to President Alvaro Uribe's office. The announcement came just hours after Colombia's top judicial panel overturned a Supreme Court decision that had temporarily blocked the extradition.
Unlike Mexico who sends representatives of their drug cartels to university here in this country Columbia continues to arrest and prosecute the home grown terrorists and drug warlords they have.
The Democratic led congress has been shameful in the handling of the free trade agreement with Columbia and I wouldn't have blamed them if they didn't extradite this guy. The bad news is that now that he is here the ACLU and every liberal leaning lawyer in America will be lining up to defend this guy and if we are lucky he will probably wind up picking up garbage along a highway for 100 hours.
Well Nancy, the balls in your court. Your main reason for denying the free trade agreement was because you said the Columbian government wasn't doing enough to fight terrorists and the drug cartels.
