15 hostages, including 3 Americans have been rescued from FARC in Colombia.
French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt, three US nationals and 11 other hostages were rescued from Marxist FARC rebels Wednesday, freed from years in captivity by a daring Colombian military raid.
Betancourt, who was captured in 2002, and the three Americans held since 2003, were rescued along with 11 Colombian soldiers in dramatic fashion when the Colombian military infiltrated a rebel jungle camp and removed them by helicopter.
A plane carrying the Americans, Defense Department Contractors, is about to land in Texas.
Sen. John McCain was in Colombia today and said he was told about the rescue while there. He said it was a coincidence.

No, as usual, you don't see.
Because you know nothing of the situation in Colombia, the history of the current struggle, or the major players.
You just drool in front of the idiot box and absorb everything they tell you on FAUX Newz without question.
