Quote-Unquote

"If true, (this is) the most beautiful news of my life."
-Lorenzo Delloye-Betancourt, on the news that his mother, Ingrid Betancourt has likely been freed from the radical group FARC, along with fourteen other hostages, after a raid by Colombian soldiers. Betancourt was taken hostage in February 2002 and is believed to be in failing health.

Let's hope it's true.

Update: It's true. Great news!

Le Monde: Une opération menée par les forces armés colombiennes a permis la libération, mercredi 2 juillet, de l'ancienne candidate à l'élection présidentielle Ingrid Betancourt ainsi que de trois citoyens américains et onze militaires colombiens qui étaient séquestrés par les FARC.
