Does anyone find the Columbian governments video of the release/rescue somewhat unconvincing ?

Any news on that? I don't think I have seen much footage, except the stuff that was broadcast in the West as background to the Betancourt story. Just snippets really.

What would be unconvincing about it?

Well Adrian call me an old cynic , but I find it strange when hostages while still with their captors , still cuffed(with plastic cable ties) and apparently on their way to a different group of FARC rebels (according to the sting story) seem so happy .
Betancourt appeared to be the only one of the hostages not with a big cheesy grin , but I suppose that could be down to her health issues .

As soon as i heard the story on the news i was worried by the fact they were pertending to be a humanitarian mission, thats all very well for this mission but what about next time when it actually is a humanitarian mission ?

Glad thier ordeal is over.... was it something like 6 years ? thats crazy amount of time to be a hostage...
