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.

It's my business to know what is actually going on down there.
That's why I have to go so often. You are quite the fool. The only strugle in Colombia right now is the people against FARC. Have you ever been there nimrod? Do you have phone conversations with folks there several times a week? Have you even been out of your mom's basement in the last week?
When you men get home and face an anti-war protestor, look him in the eyes and shake his hand. Then, wink at his girlfriend because she knows she’s dating a pussy… ~ Attributed to General Tommy Franks
