April 03, 2010 "Huffington Post" -- The biggest human rights scandal in years is developing in Colombia, though you wouldn't notice it from the total lack of media coverage here. The largest mass grave unearthed in Colombia was discovered by accident last year just outside a Colombian Army base in La Macarena, a rural municipality located in the Department of Meta just south of Bogota.

Daniel Kovalik is a human and labor rights lawyer living in Pittsburgh. The information in this article about the mass grave at La Maracena was based on research provided by Justice for Colombia in London and by two brave Colombian human rights leaders, Edinson Cuellar and Carolina Hoyas, who are working tirelessly to spread the truth about this mass grave.

can anyone help me dig up some info on this? Very Trippy!

From the article :

This policy, which President Obama is only deepening, has continued the U.S.'s long-standing practice of giving the most military aid to the worst human rights abusers. The time is way overdue for this practice to end.

Very true indeed.

If the bodies are found to have been buried within the same time frame that the US began overseeing the military base, I am not going to be awfully surprised. Sickened yes, but not surprised. I was unable to figure out how close the bodies were to the base, anyone have any more info on this? S+F people should see this.

Hmm reminds me of the ethnic cleansing of the Maya after they were accused of collaborating with anti-government guerillas in, 1980 was it?

Sick, lets spread freedom and democracy while promoting fascism... who actually doubts this type of thing couldnt happen in north america, when our governments openly support countries who do?!
