Interesting website...

I ran across this website today looking for information on the Colombian era known as La Violencia... Good article on this period of time in Colombian history, plus many other details on the current state of the country... Worth a bookmark...

Is it just me or is this just an extremely left wing site?  Who does this site?  CNN or Dan Rather?   :-)

Hmmm, I feel CNN and Dan Rather are rather conservative.  Obviously we have different definitions of conservative and liberal.

Wow we must!!    This is the first time I ever heard Dan Rather and conservative used in the same sentence.  :-)

I checked the contact page on the website and it is run by a non-profit org in New York City... Given the political environment in that part of the country, I would tend to agree with your observation that the content on this site leans to the liberal side... But still, good information...
