The issue is -- when do unions turn into terrorists?
Uribe's paramilitary death squads have been involved in killing union leaders as part of establishing order in a chaotic place. Likewise, union leaders have been involved in terroristic activities, much as labor leaders in the U.S. did acts that would be considered terrorism. Who's good and who's bad? Has the Colombian government under Uribe been good enough to get "free trade" status?
It's a fun issue.
