		Uribe, like Bush, has said that in the ‘war on terror’ there can be no neutrals, and has accused his critics of being ‘political agitators in the service of terrorism’ and ‘cowards who wrap themselves in the banner of human rights’.

		Como Alcalde de Medellín también está documentada su relación con Pablo Escobar en proyectos "comunitarios": uno era la construcción de un barrio para gente pobre conocido como 'Medellín sin Tugurios' y el otro un programa cívico que condujo a la plantación de miles de árboles en la ciudad.
		Durante su período como gobernador de Antioquia, Uribe Vélez experimentó su modelo de "Estado Comunitario" (Estado Fascista), con la cortina de humo de estimular la participación de la ciudadanía en la generación de empleo con un modelo paramilitar de seguridad pública.
		De hecho, los medios de comunicación han silenciado casos como estos en los que aparece vinculado Uribe Vélez y su núcleo de colaboradores, con lo que se cae de peso su propuesta estrella de trasparencia y lucha contra la corrupción.

		His electoral platform was centred around the policy of confronting Colombia's main guerrilla movement, Las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC), after four years of unsuccessful attempts by the previous administration of Andres Pastrana to negotiate a ceasefire with the guerrillas, and the decreasing public support for the guerrillas.
		Uribe is often mis-characterized as a "hard-line right-winger" due to his stance against the FARC and the ELN[?], despite his centrist socioeconomic policies and his continued openness to the negotiation of an end to the conflict, which is contingent upon the armed groups first declaring a cease-fire.
