This just in. Today is a good day for Colombians and French alike. Today is the day that Ingrid Betancourt was finally rescued from FARC in a military operation well worthy of a movie. After six years of captivity in malaria infested jungle, she can rejoin her family at last. At this moment, details are sparse. Colombian online newspaper websites are currently down. All of them. Interest is huge. French television has just shown a long special news show with interviews and footage of what is known so far. Ingrid, three americans and 11 other hostages have been rescued. According to President Sarkozy she is in relatively good health. At the moment she and the other former hostages are being cared for at a hospital before they will be transferred to the military airport in Bogota. She will have quite a story to tell.
