Speaking of Simon Trinidad

His extradition to the US might be just the first of several from Colombia. Seems the Colombian government is using extradition as a bargaining chip with the leftist guerrillas and the right-wing paramilitaries. Rebels who make concessions gain immunity from extradition.

I don't know how effective this will be, but it's certain that it will keep the US neck-deep in Colombian politics.
