That's a very direct question built upon several very interesting building blocks. If we go back and take a look at a couple of these, I think we may wind up with an answer to that question along the way.
Let's just take a look at some of the things that you've raised here. In the case of the false positives, as identified in the report, there has been an increase as paramilitary groups have shifted to private crime and from ideological to other reasons. There has been an increase in these sorts of false positives, in targeting people, claiming they're guerrillas, and going after them for financial award.
Here's what interesting about this. Again, think about this in the larger context of the Colombian struggle with FARC, the struggle to re-establish rule of law, and the struggle to provide security throughout the country. It's an amazing struggle and the Colombians have made such great progress. They've made progress by responding to challenges as they've come up: re-establishing the armed forces, retraining the police, establishing the rule of law throughout the country, strengthening the judiciary, and providing protection to vulnerable groups.
When the false positive cases began to appear, the Colombians also responded. Again, it's a dynamic situation. The country is coming out of a civil war that has gone on for decades. The challenges they face are enormous. What's really amazing is how the Colombians have shown themselves to be open time and time again, responding to the international community and working with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights whenever issues have come up.
In the case of the false positives, the Colombians recently sacked a general and, I believe, four other senior officers at the rank of colonel or higher.
Gentlemen, when was the last time you heard of a president firing a sitting general in a country in this hemisphere? When was the last time we ditched a general? The Colombians have taken this very seriously and have responded.
In terms of empirical data, what you have there is a collection of anecdotes. What we have in the other report are data from the ENS and data from the government, cross-longitudinal and latitudinal data. This is serious data, on the other hand.
We can take a look at what databases they're using, their sources, and their methodology, but I would challenge it to stand up to what we've seen coming from Professor Mejía, an academic of outstanding credentials at the Universidad de los Andes, the most prominent university in the country, using union data. I would doubt seriously that it would hold up to that.
In terms of the issue with NAFTA, we could--
