The decision was made in order to reveal if there are any alleged links between liberal senator Piedad Córdoba and the FARC. Juan Manuel Santos, Colombia’s Minister of Defense, will have to testify now what contents have been found in the computer which are related to Córdoba.

Santos already answered a questionnaire sent by the Supreme Court, but didn’t give any concrete details regarding the opposition politician.

1. Santos, 'da que te vienen dando'

... La Sala Penal de la Corte ordenó al ministro Santos dar una declaración juramentada ante ese tribunal para que especifique qué tipo de archivo o documentos relacionan a Piedad Córdoba con la llamada "Farcpolítica."

Por otro lado, el presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez calificó ayer martes como una amenaza para la paz que eventualmente el ministro colombiano Santos sea presidente de Colombia.

"El ministro (Santos) de vez en cuando se vuelve loco y entonces dice que va a buscar a los terroristas allá donde se encuentren, una locura, y quiere ser presidente de Colombia", dijo Chávez ...

6. At least one of her bodyguards was killed during one of the attacks.

No doubt whatsoever they will pick her off anytime, any place they get a clean shot at it. There's been a fascist hate campaign against her for years.

She does have a lot of friends, however, no doubt about that whatsoever. She serves a far cleaner cause than the evil scum which has seized control of her country, and will kill everyone who gets in the road.

She visited her acquaintances, the Speaker and Jim McGovern.

Piedad Córdoba is at odds with Chávez's reelection
The Senator substantiated her opinion
Western Hemisphere

Colombian Senator Piedad Córdoba, whose international image is linked to the pacification of her country, said on Thursday that she does not agree with the aspirations of President Hugo Chávez to be reelected, in spite of the fact that the Venezuelan leader considers the liberal legislator as one of his closest friends.

"I have formed a deep friendship with President Chávez; I have much respect for him; I love him a lot. We remain friends; I admire the whole process of the Bolivarian revolution," Córdoba said, referring to Chávez. "But if you ask me to make a choice, I would rather reelect the project" ... http://english.eluniversal.com/2009/03/05/en_pol_art_piedad-cordoba-is-at_05A2243723.shtml
