Wikileaks: Former Colombian president authorized raids into Venezuela
Wikileaks quotes State Department cable saying Uribe pursued a diplomatic strategy of trying to manage President Chavez rather than confront him, primarily through international trade.

 Former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe secretly authorized military strikes against guerillas in Venezuela even while he officially sought better relations with his neighboring country, according to the latest Wikileaks revelations.
 
 U.S. State Department communications said that in 2006 Uribe planned “clandestine operations” against the dissident group FARC.
 
 FARC refers to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, a socialist revolutionary group suspected of launching raids into Colombia from bases in the Venezuelan jungle.
 
 The secret U.S. diplomatic communication, called a cable, said Uribe used an “outwardly conciliatory approach” toward Venezuela.
 
 However, the cable written by William Wood, then U.S. ambassador to Colombia, said Uribe sought “to create a political space that allows him to carry out clandestine cross-border operations against terrorists and drug traffickers when he deems necessary."
 
 Uribe also was “under no illusions about [Venezuelan President Hugo] Chavez” and considered his “polarizing, anti-U.S. focus as a serious problem,” the cable says.
 
 The investigative news Web site Wikileaks obtained the cables from an unidentified source and has been publishing them in bunches since last fall.
 
 The Wikileaks report about Uribe was first disclosed this week by the Colombian newspaper El Espectador.
 
 The effect of the report on international relations is uncertain.
 
 "The government of Colombia took the decision a few months ago not to respond about Wikileaks questions," Colombian Embassy spokeswoman Ruby Chagui told All Headline News.
 
 Uribe was Colombia’s president from 2002 to 2010, before losing an election last summer to Juan Manuel Santos.
 
 The Wikileaks report quoted the State Department cable saying Uribe pursued a diplomatic strategy of trying “to manage President Chavez rather than confront him,” primarily through international trade.
 
 Uribe sought “to maintain a positive bilateral atmosphere, using joint energy projects and trade to create incentives to moderate Chavez’s behavior.”
 
 Chavez is known as a harsh critic of U.S. foreign policy. He also is seeking to spread socialist influence throughout Latin America.
 
 Uribe sometimes accused Chavez of unofficially tolerating the presence of FARC and cocaine laboratories run by drug traffickers in Venezuela.
 
 Chavez strongly denied the charge and at one point sent Venezuelan troops to the border to prepare for a possible military confrontation with Colombia.
 
 Colombia’s best known raid against FARC occurred March 1, 2008, with an attack on a guerilla camp inside Ecuador.
 
 It was targeted at Raul Reyes, FARC’s international spokesman and second-in-command. The attack killed more than 20 people, including Reyes and 16 other FARC members.
 
 The raid led to hostile diplomatic backlash against Colombia by Ecuador and Venezuela.
 
 Uribe’s strategy of seeking friendly bilateral trade with Venezuela but considering military strikes prompted Uribe’s advisor, Jose Obdulio Gaviria, to comment, “We are the perfect hypocrites,” according to Wikileaks.
 
 Uribe counseled his military advisors that if they staged strikes, they should avoid creating another crisis like the one in 2003 when the Colombian military captured FARC leader Rodrigo Granda in Caracas, Venezuela, El Espectador reported.
 
 Granda was immediately taken to the Colombian capital, Bogota, where he was held in jail, prompting anger from Venezuela and threats of revenge from FARC.
 
 The confrontation was defused after French President Nicolas Sarkozy convinced Uribe to release Granda on June 5, 2007.
 
 Sarkozy intervened as part of an effort to free Franco-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt in a prisoner exchange. She had been kidnapped by FARC.
 
 The Colombian military rescued her in July 2008.
 
 Uribe also expressed frustration over reports that hostile guerilla leaders lived openly in Caracas, according to El Espectador.
