A judge had no authority to issue indictments in the Flint water scandal, the Michigan Supreme Court said Tuesday, wiping out charges against former Gov. Rick Snyder, his health director and seven other people.

"Among the themes explored in the report is the role of the U.S. government, which spent decades funding and training the Colombian military in its fight against the FARC and the drug economy that financed their insurgency."

After decades of civil war, Colombia has created a historic postwar court designed to reveal the facts of a conflict that defined the nation for generations and left at least 260,000 people dead.
I think this explains why I have been seeing "Columbia" everywhere the past few months. CIA, yet again getting called out by a Foreign Country for training one side & funding it by selling illegal drugs in said Country. WTF…
"And among pieces of evidence used to write Tuesday’s report are thousands of declassified U.S. documents gathered and organized by theNational Security Archive, a Washington-based nongovernmental organization that specializes in supporting post-conflict truth commissions."
"Another document, written in 2003, hints at one of the grimmest chapters of the war, called the false positives scandal. In that case, the Colombian military is accused of killing thousands of civilians during the presidency of Álvaro Uribe and trying to pass them off as combat deaths, in an effort to show it was winning the war.
In recent court testimony in Colombia, former soldiers have said they felt pressured to kill fellow Colombians by higher-ups. "
Holy Crap. That sounds familiar…I guess if it ain't broke…
"Communist leaders then took up arms against the government with leftist rebels claiming to fight for the rural poor and seeking to overturn an economic system that critics said had led to chronic inequality."
Sounds Soooo familiar
"In the 1980s, a diverse group of right-wing paramilitaries emerged to fight the leftist insurgents, some made up of landowners organizing to protect their property and others linked to drug trafficking. Both left- and right-wing groups depended on the drug trade for money and competed for territory to grow the coca crop used to manufacture cocaine.
As more players became involved, the war became increasingly chaotic and violent in a conflict that left an estimated 260,000 people dead and forced five million to flee their homes. Civilians were routinely the victims of random kidnappings, extrajudicial killings and sexual violence."
"The Colombian military, which the United States helped supply and advise, became embroiled in one of the conflict’s biggest scandals, the so-called false-positive cases, in which soldiers killed more than 6,000 civilians, according to a postwar court, and passed them off as rebel combatants to bolster the government’s claim that it was winning the war."
The playbook used in Ukraine no doubt
"One of the most notable took place in South Africa, where a truth and reconciliation commission was established in 1995 after the end of that country’s apartheid regime. The televised hearings attracted international attention. Seeing perpetrators and victims speak proved cathartic for a traumatized nation, according to experts on post-conflict justice."
