Quote of the Day: Dangerous liaisons

“I was never friend of Pablo Escobar even when it used to be a fad.”

--Colombian president Alvaro Uribe issued a statement today denying allegations made in a recently published book by a former lover of Pablo Escobar (image).

In her book “Loving Pablo, hating Escobar,” Virginia Vallejo claimed that Uribe permitted the construction of runaways used by drug traffickers during the early 1980s. (Uribe was head of Colombia’s civil aeronautics board between 1980-1982).
