Interpol: FARC files real

[innonimatu]

From, as always, the BBC:


So, how will the Chavistas respond to this one?

The investigator appointed by the colombian government has an answer for you!

Correos inexistentes en el computador de Raúl Reyes

Bajo juramento ante la Fiscalía General de la Nación, el capitán e investigador antiterrorista, Ronald Coy Ortiz, declaró que en el computador de Raúl Reyes no existían correos electrónicos sino documentos de Word. Lo que demuestra una vez más la calaña de Uribe Vélez, su ministro de Falsos Positivos, Juan Manuel Santos, al manipular el contenido del computador para involucrar politicos nacionales y extranjeros, defensores de derechos humanos, académicos y presidentes de países vecinos, como ocurrió con los presidentes Correa, Lula y Chávez.

NO HABÍA CORREOS ELECTRONICOS EN EL PC DE RAUL REYES

Now the question is: how will the liars (BBC News in other stories, though not in Amadeus story, and Interpol was careful not to comment on emails specifically - they assisted with the deception, but you can't pin the blame on them... And so many other "news sources" and "analysts" who simply parroted what the Colombian government claimed!) explain their lies?

And will all the fools on this thread who believe any propaganda they're fed learn something from this? How do you like "Jane's security news" now, Mobboss?
Another funny fact of this whole story is that those "emails" got some two weeks worth of news on the international sections of mainstream media. But did any of those "news sources" bother to correct their claims with these news? This is the only european newspaper I found mentioning it, and it was never part of the propaganda campaign against Chavez.

By the way, here is the Interpol report. Which obviously includes the following "disclaimer":

The verification of the eight seized FARC computer exhibits by INTERPOL does not imply the validation of the accuracy of the user files, the validation of any country’s interpretation of the user files or the validation of the source of the user files. It is well established that for law enforcement purposes, factual findings concerning the truth or accuracy of the content of any item of evidence are made in the context of a judicial process at the national or international level and/or by a specially appointed commission with jurisdiction over the matter in dispute.

And the public data available

Without revealing the content of the data, INTERPOL can state the following with regard to the user files contained in the eight seized FARC computer exhibits:
109 document files were found on more than one of the exhibits
452 spreadsheets
7,989 e-mail addresses
10,537 multimedia files (sound and video)
22,481 web pages
37,872 written documents (such as Word documents, PDF files, text format documents)
210,888 images
Of the above, 983 files were found to be encrypted.

The journalists and "analysts" pontificating about those news since May 25th 2008 apparently didn't even read the relevant press release from Interpol, or were so incompetent that they missed the obvious absence of references to actual emails.
