Santos and Chávez vie to outdo each other
It is almost as if Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos and his
Venezuelan peer Hugo Chávez are competing with each other over who can make the
biggest gesture of goodwill. Fresh from the announcement by Santos that Colombia
would extradite the alleged Venezuelan drug kingpin, Walid Makled, to his native
country rather than the US [WR-11-16],
Chávez complied promptly with a request from Santos to arrest and hand over a
man described by Santos as the arch propagandist of the Fuerzas Armadas
Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc) in Europe, as soon as a commercial plane
carrying him touched down in Caracas.
