As the saying goes. they "fight the guerrillas by removing the water from the fish." We all know what that means. In Colombia it Is common for the army or paramilitary units to enter a rural village and give all the villagers three simple choices. help fight guerrillas. leave the village or face torture and death. As a result many of Colombias cities face swelling ranks of peasant refugees who are traumatized and destitute. Ironically. the expansive Colombian military justice system effectively precludes civil jurisdiction in such cases. The Colombian constitution even contains a doctrine of due obedience that protects those operating under orders.
