		The last time i was in Colombia, i was told that people from the department of Antioquia were the nicest, most friendly people in the country.
		I tried to take many photos out the window of the bus, which nearly always turns out crappy, but a few were ok. I find that spacing out my bus trips makes the rides more enjoyable, to the point where i look forward to spending a day reading, listening to music, and watching the view.

	Colombia: The Paramilitaries in Medellín: Demobilization or Legalization? - Amnesty International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		In the case of Colombia, this underlines the importance of fully investigating and uncovering the economic, political and institutional – including state institution and security force – links to paramilitary forces and the degree of their responsibility in supporting paramilitarism and complicity in human rights violations committed by paramilitaries.
		But given the endemic nature of impunity in Colombia, most paramilitary members – and guerrillas for that matter – are not formally under judicial investigation for violations of human rights or international humanitarian law, and are even less likely to have been tried or convicted for such offences.
		According to the Office in Colombia of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, "mechanisms of transitional justice should only be applied within processes of negotiation, dialogue and agreements with illegal armed groups that have previously agreed with the government to demobilize and dismantle".

		As Colombia's current president, Andrés Pastrana, noted in a press release on October 25, 1999: "Without the coca plant, there is no cocaine, but without acetone, ether and permanganate, it is impossible to have drugs.
		But to apply the law equally would have caused headlines that interfered with Washington's electoral plans for Colombia, which have been executed to weaken all other potential candidates (those that are still alive or not in captivity) and install Uribe as the next Colombian president in the May 26th elections.
		The New Colombia News Agency reported on Uribe's record "as mayor of Medellin in the early 1980s when the city was known as 'The Sanctuary' due to the complete protection that the traffickers enjoyed from the city administration."
