1. Interesting ending to the article posted above:

In a high profile example of violence directed at journalists this year, top editor and investigative journalist, Ricardo Calderon, working for weekly Semana, barely escaped death after diving into a ditch as hired hit men shot up his car while he was stopped at a red light. Calderon was targeted after reporting on lavish jail conditions for convicted human rights abusers in the military.

Pathetic, isn't it?
