quick commentary, just to throw something out there

ingrid betancourt: ok, so she's descendant of a French family but born in Colombia, married to a Frenchman but divorced and re-married to a Colombian why perhaps does the media refer to her as a "Colombian-French" politician? i wonder if its because if someone from Latin America is kidnapped that it is the "normalcy" so it is not widely reported upon, while when someone from Europe or Canada/US is kidnapped it becomes international news. curious.
