US embassy cable - 05BOGOTA6057

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: FOMER PRESIDENT CLINTON'S COMMENTS ON THE PEACE 
PROCESS 
 
1. (U) During former President Clinton's June 22 visit to 
Colombia, a reporter for national television network Caracol 
asked him if he supported the peace processes with the 
paramilitaries and the guerrilla groups.  Clinton stated: 
 
"Of course, so long as they understand there will be zero 
tolerance when it comes to the death of innocent people.  I 
believe President Uribe left that very clear.  You are doing 
a good job. Violence, kidnappings and illicit crops have 
decreased.  So you are heading in the right direction.  I 
hope you (Colombia) will be able to create conditions so 
that there can be a political exit to the conflict in which 
all groups (FARC, ELN, paramilitaries) may create a peaceful 
future.  Together, you can solve it without violence.  And 
Colombia can be a great country with a cocaine-free 
economy."
