Daniel Ortega Harboring the FARC?

I read today in La Nación that Nicaraguan President, Daniel Ortega, recently granted asylum in Nicaragua to two members of the Colombian terrorist group FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionaries de Colombia).  Ortega cited "humanitarian reasons" for the act.  These two FARC members had survived the attack from the Colombian army against a FARC camp in Ecuador on March 1 of this year, which set off a diplomatic firestorm that pitted President Uribe (of Colombia) against the governments of Ecuador and, of course, Venezuela.  In that attack some 20 members of the FARC perished, including the second in command, Raúl Reyes.  The two FARC members granted asylum were young women of 21 and 24 years.  Isn't it a little amazing that the FARC recruits young women to carry out its bloodthirsty pursuits.  Everyone knows that the FARC, which began years ago as a Marxist revolutionary group, now exists primarily to protect Colombian cocaine interests.  In fact many now believe that the FARC actually controls most of the cocaine industry in Colombia.  Another assumed FARC member, Lucia Morett, has been in Nicaragua as well and is also a survivor of the March 1st attack.  The Nicaraguan government offered Morett either asylum or nationality, as she desired.  I believe the the peace loving governments of Latin America should pay close attention to the actions of Ortega.  Harboring known terrorists is not the direction most people want to see him moving in.
