Reps. McGovern and Miller Call on U.S. Attorney General to Look at Human Rights Abuses of Extradited

"We write to you regarding the extradition last month from Colombia to the United States of several paramilitary leaders of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, which is on the U.S. Department of States's list of foreign terrorist organizations. We are pleased that these criminals will be tried for their U.S. drug-trafficking crimes. At the same time, we ask you to keep in mind the horrific human rights abuses these men have committed in Colombia." Read the full letter (PDF).
