The situation in Colombia has come a long way over the past 14 years. Attacking a radar station is quite different from successfully attacking and briefly occupying a capital of a department, Mitu in Vaupés. This attack began on 1 November 1998 and I was in-country at the time getting married. That was the worst time I can recall for Colombia. For a little perspective check out this FARC combat video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeZgy8rgWYs. At the 5:53 minutes part of the video, you'll start see Colombian Govt POWs, many of whom spent 10 plus years in captivity.
