Colombia: Uribe compares guerilla spokesman to Hitler

Quite frankly I’m surprised this didn’t happened sooner:

“(Colombian president Alvaro Uribe) criticized the ‘importance’ given by the media to messages from (FARC spokesman) Raul Reyes. ‘What difference is there between Hitler’s torture against the Jews to what Reyes and his gang do to our hostages? None,’ underlined the chief of state.”

Uribe’s remarks seemed similar to those made last year by Donald Rumsfeld and Hugo Chavez.
