Yes, pretending that army units were aid workers got 15 hostages freed in Columbia from FARC, but in the long term, this has to backfire, I think.
An angry FARC will be on the lookout for more high-profile hostages, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will up his distrust of Columbian President Álvaro Uribe and, should McCain be elected president here, he also will be widely distrusted by Chavez and allies due to his getting a pre-hostage release briefing.
